Is there a way to block snapchat and Instagram at certain hours of the day? I have time limits on my son's phone, but he says he can still Instagram, Snapchat and text even after those hours.
Please note that Mobicip's filter works only on the Mobicip Safe Browser and not on any other apps available on the device. While we would like to make our filtering service work with other apps on the device, we are not allowed to create software that runs in the background. Hence, we had to create our own browser to provide filtered internet access. Please note that this is the case with any other internet filter available for Android/Apple's mobile devices.
In other words, Mobicip won't be able to restrict/monitor activities done on other apps in the device.
HI. My friend says she can read texts and snaps and instagram posts on her child's phone through mobicip. I bought premium but cannot figure out how to set this up.What level do I have to have her profile at - monitor, strict, moderate or mature to do this?? Please help!
Unfortunately, Mobicip does not monitor or restrict call/text/email messages as of now. It is a common request from other parents as well. But Android/Apple OS does not allow third party developers to control or access built-in apps like SMS, Email etc.
It is part of our development projects, but we do not yet have a time line when it will become available. We will keep you posted on any updates regarding this. We appreciate your patience as we work on this feature.

How do I get copies of all texts and snapchats to monitor?
