To uninstall Covenant Eyes on your iPad, you'll typically follow the standard procedure for removing any app, though specific restrictions might require an extra step.
Simple Steps to Uninstall Covenant Eyes
The most direct way to remove Covenant Eyes from your iPad involves a few quick taps on your home screen:
- Locate the App: Find the Covenant Eyes app icon on your iPad's home screen.
- Activate "Remove App" Option: Gently press down and hold the Covenant Eyes app icon.
- Tap to Remove: A context menu will appear. Tap on "Remove App".
- Confirm Deletion: You may be asked to confirm if you want to delete the app and its data. Tap "Delete App" to finalize the uninstallation.
This process removes the application from your device.
Troubleshooting: "Remove App" Option Is Missing
If you press and hold the Covenant Eyes app icon but do not see the "Remove App" option, it is likely due to Screen Time Content & Privacy Restrictions enabled on your iPad. These restrictions are designed to prevent unauthorized app deletions, often used for parental controls or device management.
Adjusting Screen Time Content & Privacy Restrictions
To resolve this and allow app deletion, you will need to adjust your iPad's Screen Time settings. This typically requires knowing the Screen Time passcode if one has been set up.
- Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPad.
- Access Screen Time: Tap on "Screen Time" in the left-hand menu.
- Enter Content & Privacy Restrictions: Tap "Content & Privacy Restrictions".
- Enter Passcode (if prompted): If a Screen Time passcode is set, you will need to enter it here.
- Modify iTunes & App Store Purchases: Tap on "iTunes & App Store Purchases".
- Allow Deleting Apps: Tap on "Deleting Apps" and select "Allow".
- Retry Uninstallation: Once you've set "Deleting Apps" to "Allow," return to your home screen and repeat the steps outlined in the "Simple Steps to Uninstall Covenant Eyes" section above. The "Remove App" option should now be available.
For more detailed information on managing Screen Time settings, you can refer to Apple's official support documentation on Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
After successfully removing the app, remember that uninstalling the app from your iPad does not automatically cancel any associated subscriptions or account services with Covenant Eyes. You may need to manage your account directly through their website or customer service.
