A dev recently discovered a browser built into the settings (for any google app that lets you edit settings). From there you can bypass parental controls or enterprise restrictions.

This is a pretty exciting “extra feature”, Google!

    Curious if someone in an abusive relationship could use this trick if their phone was being monitored. If the abuser was just monitoring them with the phone’s parental controls this would work but if there was an app probably not?

      the was a news here on lemmy where someone got in prison because the local county has put some malware in the phone. It logged a single request to Pornhub, so the guy bail was revoked

      Unfortunately, it’s hard to discover this trick on its own, unless you’re already clever enough to find other ways around it.
