@kenneth Hello, Opal Legend!
BTW, Iām kind of new here.
Can you please make it so we canāt disable screen time access from the control center?
It could be anything, like losing access to your subscription or paying a set amount of money.
Right now, the app is typically not doing what it says it does. SO PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP ![:pray: :pray:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/pray.png?v=12)
Also, similar apps like freedom do have the same problem, so if you could make this a reality, you can call it a āfeatureā!
In the meantime, this is how I prevent myself from using the control center.
So, this isnāt a fix for everyone butā¦
ATTENTION : DOING THIS WILL PRACTICALLY MAKE YOUR PHONE USELESS. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY.
-
Turn off āAccess Within Appsā in Control Center
(Settings > Control Center > Access Within Apps)
-
Turn off āAllow Access to Control Center When Lockedā
(Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Allowed access when locked: > Control Center)
-
Set the āSetting Preventionā shortcut automation
(THIS IS IN THE OPAL OFFICIAL WEBSITE)
But, I advise to delete the āOpen Opalā part, because it is redundant.
-
Setup a shortcut like this:
Is Opal protection On?
Show when run: Off
![:arrow_down: :arrow_down:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/arrow_down.png?v=12)
If āIs Opal protection On?ā
Open āOpalā
![:arrow_down: :arrow_down:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/arrow_down.png?v=12)
Otherwise
![:arrow_down: :arrow_down:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/arrow_down.png?v=12)
End If
- Set a automation that runs this shortcut when the Opal app is closed AND opened
Automation: Run Immediately
Notify When Run: Off
When
When āOpalā is opened or closed
Do
(The shortcut in Step 4)
ATTENTION Creating only one will make it easy to get to the control center. If you have more than 3, even if you try hard, you canāt reach the control center.
Great Job! Now your phone is a practical dumb phone.
ATTENTION When you try to open Settings, you will be in a loop between Opal and Settings. LOCK YOUR SCREEN once, and itāll fix itself.
(If it doesnāt fix itself, press ācancelā on the settings shortcut)
(Optional)
I like to have a shortcut in my Home Screen that goes to the control center settings, so I can enable control center afterwards.
Hereās how to set it up.
Locked Control Center:
Open URL ā prefs:root=PASSCODE ā
Allow access to control center within apps:
Open URL ā prefs:root=ControlCenter ā
Let me know your suggestions on these shortcuts, and if you found this helpful, I would be very happy! ![:smiley: :smiley:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=12)
But, as I said I wonāt be taking ANY responsibility over the fact that you canāt use your phone.
Here is an image of the shortcut in Step 4! ![:grin: :grin:](https://community.opal.so/images/emoji/twitter/grin.png?v=12)
