Do not erase yet. Verify current iCloud sync and app-specific backups first. An encrypted Mac backup is a rollback copy, but restoring an unsupervised backup removes supervision.
- Verify iCloud and critical apps.Check recent photos elsewhere, WhatsApp’s backup timestamp, passwords, authenticator recovery and essential app exports.
- Connect the iPhone to a Mac.Download the VowLock Mac installer ↓ Open it with Apple Configurator, trust the computer and choose the supervised-phone workflow.
- Erase and supervise deliberately.Device supervision cannot be added to an already configured personal iPhone without an erase.
- Review the combined protection.Every new supervised iPhone commitment includes Trading and Explicit Content + X together. The boundary cannot be reduced afterward.
- Install and test the VowLock filter.Test a trading website and app, a registered explicit-content domain, x.com and the installed X app.
