Limitation:
When Orbiri uses Apple’s Family Controls to completely block an app, its background processes are also usually blocked. This means apps like WhatsApp may not be able to perform their automatic overnight backup.
Fix/workaround:
Set a reminder every few days to perform a backup while WhatsApp is unblocked (Messaging space is active).
Do this by going to “You > Chats > Chat backup” in WhatsApp:
Target date for permanent fix:
No current target date set.
We have a few ideas on how to work around this iOS issue. We may remotely switch to “shielding” instead of “blocking” in the early hours of the morning, to allow the required background processes to run. Shielding means the app icon is visible, but greyed out and not usable. We prefer full blocking during the day as the complete removal of the app icon reduces the temptation far more than just greying it out.
