    Block apps from being downloaded


    Why isn’t there a way that you can block apps from being downloaded? You make it too easy to access all kinds of vile smut through apps. And your family safety app/ program is a joke. It doesn’t work. I’ve tried it. I can still acces Whatever I want.

    Block apps from being downloaded

    Hello pastafazool 2,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

    For us to better understand with your concern, we want to ask more details about it. Please provide us the information by answering these questions.

    • Are you referring to a child account that needs to be restricted in some games and actions on the web and on the Xbox apps?
    • Do you have a Family group on your account? This can help manage account under the family group.
    • If the account is already an adult, by system default this cannot be restricted anymore.
    To manage certain account from an activity, an organizer in the Family group has the control the members. This means you are to establish a Family Safety in your account and put an organizer to manage/control. Please visit to these links for more details on how.

    We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know. We will be glad to follow up and help you.



    Have a great day ahead.

    Sincerely,



    Xbox Forum Moderator

    Useless: IE "blocked" setting in "Privacy" menu, not "Family"

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Internet Explorer can be blocked, but not blocked with a passcode. The result is that a person does not need the passcode to unblock it, which makes "blocking" IE pretty useless.

    Your idea about IE being blocked through the "Unrated Content" option is logical. Yet, even with Unrated Content set to "blocked," Internet Explorer is still accessible. This method used to block the YouTube app entirely but does not block the IE app -
    from which YouTube can now be accessed...

    Does this seem like an oversight?
