How do I block an app with Parental Control?

If you wish to block certain applications from being used by your child, you can visit their Parental Control profile under your Bitdefender Central account using a browser, as follows:

1. Go to Bitdefender Central from any web browser and sign in. 

2. Click on the Parental Control panel, located on the left side of the window.

3. Select the child’s profile and click on OPTIONS > Applications from the top right corner of the screen.

4. To block access to a particular app click on MANAGE APPLICATIONS.

5. Here you can see the apps used by your child. Click the drop-down menu next to the app you want to restrict and select Blocked.

From now, the app will be blocked by Bitdefender Parental Control.

Apps can also be blocked from the Central app. To do that:

1. Open the Bitdefender Central app on your smartphone or tablet.

2. Tap the Users icon at the bottom of the screen.

3. Select the child’s profile.

4. Tap the small arrow pointing down next to PAUSE ACCESS.

5. Choose Application settings in the list of available options.

6. Select the device used by your child.

7. Tap the app you want to block. In the example below, we’re going to restrict the child’s access to Skype.

8. Select Blocked, then tap OK to save the rule.

From now, the app will be blocked by Bitdefender Parental Control.
