No I wasn’t accusing you of downvoting. Just speaking generally here.

I guess you’re correct.

I accept that as you gave your reasoning.

Thanks.

I feel it would be constructive if people who downvoted the OP (I am not them) told them why. As then the OP can learn what this community expects and people who stumble across comments being downvoted, we can clearly see why and learn more from it.

I wish when people downvoted comments they explain why. So we can learn.

No problem.

Yeah it’s great for giving your friends your phone if you don’t trust them not to try and fuck with you for jokes. Or if using it for playing music in a group gathering.

Even for children using the device. Particularly as you can set the volume and not give them the permission to change it.

For people with iPhone you can do this too.

Go to settings and pull down with your finger to get the search box to appear, then search for “Guided” and click “Guided access”.

Enable this setting as well as toggling “Accessibility shortcut”. Now you can open an app and triple click the lock button and select guided access.

Then on this screen you can press start in the top right or options in the bottom left to refine the controls, for instance:

• Side button
• Volume controls
• Motion
• Software keyboards
• Touch
• Time limits

Now the phone is locked in that app and to come out of it requires the passcode.

Doesn’t signal allow signups without a phone now?

Also second SimpleX that the other person mentioned.

I’m not so sure that’s an Instagram message and more an iOS thing. I’ve seen it before and I’ve never used Instagram. It happens on many sites.
