We've had two major updates to close out 2025:
- Released a new Supervised Mode Setup toolthat can enable Supervised Mode on an iPhone without any data loss. See our new guide for more information about the Supervised Mode Setup tool: https://techlockdown.com/guides/enable-supervised-mode-iphone
- We helped launch an iOS app for screenshot-based monitoring for iPhone and iPad called LivingRoom for Families. Adults can also use it as a strict accountability tool and parents can use it to make an iOS device safe for a child. See our new guide for setting up the LivingRoom app: https://techlockdown.com/guides/livingroom-for-families
Supervised Mode Setup Tool
This new setup tool was a huge win that makes it much easier (and faster) to enable Supervised Mode on iPhones and iPads. Previously, a factory reset was the only way to do this, but now you can just download the application to your Mac or Windows computer and enable Supervised Mode without any data loss:
LivingRoom for Families
The LivingRoom for Families app can be used on either a child's or adult's iPhone/iPad for strict accountability. The app can't be bypassed if setup correctly, so it's a strict solution for comprehensive monitoring on iOS.
The app periodically takes screenshots and sends them to a dashboard for a parent/accountability partner to review.
Anyone using the iPhone sees a clear recording icon when screenshots are being captured:
