Ask HN: Is Twitter bypassing iPhone's content restrictions?

2 points by matt08s 3y ago ↗ HN

I'm using Chrome on my iPhone and trying to restrict access to twitter.com. However, it doesn't take effect. I've tried a bunch of stuff recommended online, like changing the screentime-settings at chrome://flags, but it won't work. It does work for other sites like facebook.com. Wondering if Twitter somehow bypasses iPhone's content restrictions? Note: the restriction does work on Safari, but I'd like it to work on Chrome as well.

The issue could be related to Chrome itself and not twitter.com per se. Did you try restricting some other site on Chrome like reddit.com or facebook.com, and see if that works?

Yea, actually I tried and it worked on other pages. That's why I got pissed and suspicious at Twitter. I deleted and reinstalled Chrome and now it's working fine :shrug:
