Q: disable or uninstall a previously approved app from my child's iPod.
Hi,
I would like to know if I am able to disable or uninstall a previously approved app from my child's iPod.
Scenario
- I don't live with my daughter. Her mother is a little, how shall we say, 'tech-not-interested' so the control of the iPod falls on me.
- I have set up restrictions on my child's device so she cannot install apps without the ask to buy request coming to me first for approval.
- I approved an app for my child but I don't want it installed on her device anymore.
What is the best way to prohibit her using this app?
Erasing it from her iPod is the obvious answer, but given I have approved the app, will she automatically be able to install it again?
Erase her device?
- If I erased her device would all the previously approved apps be still available after rebuild?
I have access to her iTunes account and wondering if I am able to delete them from there.
I tried a couple of the parental control apps in the AppStore but they all seem to be able to be uninstalled from the child.
Thanks for any feedback.
iPod touch, iOS 9.3.5
