The digital part is important, too \u2014 many believe depriving kids of their virtual life can actually harm them.

Yes, it\u2019s convenient for parents, for sure. However, your kids might not be too happy about you exercising control over their digital life. And, kids being kids, they might want to delete the program from their iPhone or iPad. If they do, Kaspersky Safe Kids settings, which are stored in a protected user profile, will remain where they are, but you\u2019ll lose the ability to track their location. Secure Browser will be deleted as well, although the default Safari browser will remain blocked.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent this rather inconvenient situation, we recommend adjusting iOS settings so as to restrict attempts to delete any apps from the device. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n<p>1. Open <b>Settings<\/b> on the device and then go to the <b>General<\/b> screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7775\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2016\/10\/05193235\/underhood_de_4.png\" alt=\"underhood_de_4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7774\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2016\/10\/05193237\/sk-screen-1-en.png\" alt=\"sk-screen-1-en\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>2.

Set up a new passcode to access restrictions settings. Note that this is a separate passcode \u2014 it should not match the code you use to unlock the device. Confirm your new restrictions passcode by entering it once again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7778\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2016\/10\/05193231\/sk-screen-4-en.png\" alt=\"sk-screen-4-en\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>5.

Now Kaspersky Safe Kids cannot be uninstalled from the device.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to delete some other program, return to <b>Restrictions<\/b>, use your special passcode, and allow app deletion.
