Troubleshooting App Permissions

Why do you need to update the
permissions on your child’s device?

TimeoutIQ is a screen time management app which means it needs to provide you with the ability to set a time interval after which the phone will automatically lock out your child. TimeOutIQ should also be prevented from being uninstalled from your child’s device unless as the parent/guardian you uninstall it yourself.

This is why it’s important to understand how to set up or update the app’s permissions on the device.

I have installed the app on both my device and the device used by my child, but it fails to launch or monitor my child’s device.

- If you encounter this problem, please check the permission settings on the device assigned to your child.

The following permissions should be checked or updated:

- Device administrator permission

  • Go to Settings > Search for Admin > click on Device Administrator > Select TimeoutIQ>Click on Activate
  • This permission will prevent your child from uninstalling the app and lock the device once the allotted screen time expires.
  • Learn how to grant Device administrator permission.

- Accessibility permission

  • Go to Settings > search for accessibility > scroll down and click on Accessibility > scroll down and click on TimeoutIQ > Activate
  • This permission will monitor if settings or permissions change on your child’s device. You will get notified, as well.
  • Learn how to grant Accessibility permission.

- Overlay permission

  • Go to Settings > search for Display over other Apps > click on Display over other Apps > scroll down and click on TimeoutIQ > activate
  • This permission will allow the app to display TimeOutIQ’s educational content on any running application.
  • Learn how to grant Overlay permission.

- App usage permission

  • Go to Settings > search for Usage > click on Usage Information Access > scroll down and click on TimeoutIQ > Activate
  • This permission will track all the applications running on your child’s device and provide you with app usage reports and TimeOutIQ logs.
  • Learn how to grant App usage permission.
