Pausing devices

[ChuckC59]

I have paused several of our child's devices. On their phone it states there is no internet connection. However, when I click on the Facebook app it still launches and shows most of the content. What gives?

Blocking Wi-Fi/ internet won't stop apps from launching. The app will likely also cache content that can be viewed even if Wi-Fi/ internet is blocked. The big question here is: Do you get any new content if you try to refresh the app?

What about GSM / LTE / 4G: Maybe your kids phones fallback to that when Wi-Fi stops working?

Suggesting a different solution here: Controlling the devices themselves. With something like "Microsoft Family Safety", https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/family-safety.
