How to disable/bypass parental controls on iphone?

so basically yesterday my parents downloaded some sort of parental controls on my iphone 8 which deleted a bunch of apps and gave me a 7 o’clock downtime and locks all apps and websites completely. I tried installung a VPN but it didn’t work so i suspect its built into the phone. (also sorry for terrible images, im using a 15 year old computer). I HATE IT

I have a method that always works for me, although it only allows you to access google or any other websites, but it is still pretty useful

  1. Go to settings
  2. Click on mail
  3. Click on accounts, and click on add account
  4. Click on “with google”
  5. On the lower part on the screen, it will say “help” on tiny letters, click on it
  6. Type on search, “google”
  7. A link will appear as the first result, click on it and you can access google for as long as you want
    Hope it works!

Repost this link to others and spread the message. Let’s get Google’s attention to delete family link forever. Together we can make a change : https://www.reddit.com/r/familylink/comments/1crv72g/protest_to_delete_this_cursed_app_family_link/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

This might be a little late of a response, but if your parents don’t notice stuff and I mean are really really bad at technology, then if you get the chance you could possibly take the “family managers” phone and go to settings where it says screentime, then SCROLL to the very bottom where it has your profile and press it, once there scroll again and press on always allow apps, then choose the app you want, or if you need the passcode, scroll to the very bottom and press either change passcode or turn off screen time.

Another thing to do if they check screen time alot, is you ask them to unlock an app for you, but screen record it, there will be a red top up there so can be risky but if they don’t notice it then you have full control over screen time

Now one more thing, if at the bare minimum you want to watch videos past down time, download an app called Musi and connect it to youtube, you could make a case for yourself that you like to listen to music when you go to bed and its just a music app, but in reality you can watch whatever on there and if there suspicious just say you were listening to music.

Hope this helps!

Try doing a factory reset.

in the screen time section of your settings you can check if they used the apple parental controls, if they did try resetting your phone but if they used a third party app you might be able to change the date to 2030 and change the time to anything before 7 o´clock

In 3U tools you have option to retrieve a screen time pass code by simply making a backup, hope this will help. OR you can record screen

Hi I live in Manjimup and I also have parental controls arghhh.

Any help would be great, I have an iPhone 11 and desperate for some freedom…

Same how do I get apps without asking I just switched over to iPhone and Im losing my touch

yes this way work ive used it before

As of November 2024 this still works

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH DUDE(I am currently in downtime, the only reason I can contact you is because of your method)

Damn that’s a really niche thing I’m surprised you found that

If my parents Use aura will it show the websites I visted through this, cause when I use a back door browser it counts as browser history and for this it’s not an offical browser ig cause it doesn’t block anything but will they get a notification that I visited it somehow.

UH,HEY. 6 month old threat but where do i type google exactly? because in the help section,the middle “Describe your issue” searching bar doesnt work if i type google

When u click on the search bar you need to type “google”? Cuz that aint showing me any link

Unfortunately, the screen recording thing does not work anymore. I tried it and I guess apple knew and when I looked at the video it automatically took of the keypad

yea my parents use aura too, do you know how to bypass it?

I found out how to do it now, you need to start typing “Search on google” and below the searching bar, it will say search on google. You click on that and then you click on the first link that appears.

I think they fixed this error
