In fact once lock up , it can only do two things — call 911 or call mommy .
In aninterview with CBS , the app ’s creator Sharon Standifird come up with the musical theme after several frustrating bouts of ignored call from her own children . Here ’s how this devilish app manoeuver . A implicated parent opens up Ignore No More , selects their victim ’s unsuspecting smartphone from the list , creates a watchword only they love , and boom . full smartphone lockdown . After that , these inauspicious exploiter can only call 911 ( for safety reasons ) or a select few contacts handpicked by their parent .
Although the app insists it ’s not easy to uninstall or remove , Phandroidpoints out a somewhat easy workaround by unchecking Ignore No More under gadget Administrators in configurations . And if you ’re favorable / your parents are lax with update passwords , you might be able to ditch the app . Other than that it ’s a jolly pesky bit of software that ’s not easy to give the slip .
Ignore No More obviously gives great parental serenity of mind at the cost of foiled teens everywhere . At the segment ’s conclusion , CBS asked Standifird ’s Logos what he thought of his female parent ’s smartphone app exploit . He only returned a void look of defeat.[CBS ]
