If a website, app, game, or feature isn't working on your child's device

If a website, app, or certain features aren’t loading or working on your child’s device, it might be because something has been accidentally blocked.

Website Loading Issues

When a website doesn’t load, your kid might see errors like:

  • "This site can't be reached"
  • "Took too long to respond"
  • "Try: checking the connection"
  • "Cannot play stream"
  • "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"

App Loading Issues

Apps can have similar problems, such as:

  • Content Not Loading: The app opens, but nothing shows up or updates.
  • Features Not Working: Certain parts of the app, like messaging, media playback, games, or in-app purchases, don’t work.
  • Slow Performance: The app is much slower than usual or keeps freezing.
