As an app that's making social media less addictive for thousands of iPhoners, we’re wholeheartedly requesting to allow content blocker permissions via a permission pop.
This will dramatically improve the user experience because the current method is puzzling for the following reasons:
-
Navigating for the “Content Blocker” permissions in settings is challenging, confusing, and frustrating. Even as the developers ourselves, we sometimes get lost on the way. Hence, users are upset on why such a binary permission can’t just be done via a popup like other permissions (including family controls).
-
sometimes when a user search “Content Blocker” to make navigation easier, the app shown in the picture gets shown instead which ends up misleading and frustrating the user even more.
- users don’t always know what “content blocker” is in their native language to be able to navigate to it via a search. BeTimeful shares Apple’s mission to bring back time to people’s lives with introductions of family controls and screen times. Unfortunately, the current voyage to just turn on a binary permission is making it hard for us and other developers to fulfil the mission.
At the same time, we all choose Apple due to the simplicity of it's UX, not complexity. Hence, on behalf of our current and future users, we plead to simplify content blocker permission as well 🙏💜
