Re: Connect app pausing issues
This app is pointless. Claims to be able to pause WiFi on connected devices,
Not seen it work once yet on any device I have tried on!!

Even my youngest grandson can quickly evade Wi-Fi Pausing.
Guiding acceptable use of the internet is advisable.That’s really unhelpful thank you
Unhelpful but accurate.The reason you are finding it doesn't work is because it doesn't. Most modern phones will bypass the blocking with little or no effort from the user. If blocking is important and the user can't be trusted, you will need to physically control the device.
It always used to work, I just pressed a button on the app and it stopped the internet working on that device, whether it was laptop, phone, Xbox. Not a matter of trust, it’s a matter of wanting to turn it off certain devices every now and again!
It's the later devices that will bypass MAC blocking, either by default or with a simple setting.
