Use TestFlight feedback on iPhone or email [email protected] on either platform.
Do the 1.7.0 iPhone and 1.7.0 Android test builds collect screenshots or screen content?
No. The iPhone TestFlight build and the Android closed-alpha build do not collect screenshots or screen content.
Do the public builds collect screenshots or screen content?
No. The iPhone TestFlight 1.7.0 beta and the public Android 1.7.0 build do not collect screenshots or screen content. A separate supervised Android build can collect periodic screen captures only after a parent or legal guardian gives consent for that specific safeguard and Android grants the screen-sharing permission. Each frame is transmitted over HTTPS to TinyBeacon's screenshot-analysis service for a transient safety check; only frames assessed as medium risk or higher are retained, encrypted for the parent's devices. The child can see when screen sharing is active. Withdrawing consent stops collection and removes the associated data. The supervised build is installed directly and is not the public Google Play app.
Can the 1.7.0 iPhone and 1.7.0 Android features change?
Yes. Test builds can change, and a feature may be delayed or unavailable while we learn.
