The questions parents actually ask.
A determined child might, and any app that promises otherwise isn't being straight with you. Brickify uses the phone's own system-level controls: Apple's Family Controls on iPhone, and Android's accessibility service, plus optional Device Owner mode, on Android. Setup walks you through closing the side doors, and you get an email if protection is removed.
Not quite. On iPhone, Brickify is built on the same Apple framework as Screen Time, and on Android it uses Android's accessibility service and optionally Device Owner. These make it hard to get round. What Brickify adds: several profiles that swap themselves through the week, a PIN plus second factor, alerts, a guided setup, and the same app on Android.
Probably not. According to Smartphone Free Childhood, more than 200,000 UK children are now in its Parent Pact, covering over half of UK schools. And a Brickified phone doesn't announce itself. It looks like any other phone; fewer apps work at certain times, that's all.
A brick phone is calls and texts only, on a second device. Brickify turns the phone you already own into a brick phone on your schedule, and lets you open apps one at a time as your child grows.
