Limitation:
The Apple Family Controls framework only allows 50 apps to be blocked at a single time. So, some apps on your device may be unblocked when they are in a space that is not active, and you expect them to be blocked.
Workaround:
We cannot increase the number of apps Apple allows us to block, although we have seen that 50 is usually enough.
However, we have carefully prioritised the blocking to ensure the main distracting apps are always blocked, and the chances are that anything over 50 is not something to worry too much about. The App Store is blocked on a high priority to ensure lots of apps are not installed to sneakily overwhelm the 50-limit.
NOTE: even if an app is not blocked when it ideally should be, without its space being active it may not work correctly as we won’t have whitelisted its associated websites (no iOS limits there!), so you could call it “partially blocked”.
For every user we can provide a “device health report” on request. This will tell you which apps cannot be successfully blocked due to this limitation and will hopefully guide you to uninstalling some other apps to allow more to be caught in the allowed 50 apps.
Target date for fix/update:
None - we cannot increase this limit set by Apple.
