Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

I second that.  Thanks VM for getting the old websafe interface back.

The only gripe is that I cannot reliably get to the "old" websafe setup page - sometimes I get the new (broken) version.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Best regards,

Unfortunately once on the old page going to My apps > Web Safe redirects to the new (buggy) page but manually going to the following links should take you to the old page: https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/settings

BTW should you find yourself on the buggy new page do not be tempted by the eye candy and, in that moment of weakness, attempt to manage Web Safe with it… it will not end well.

Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

still doesn't block websites on old interface... put in the address of the website you want to block,  navigate to that website, it shows up.. completely useless

Hi @rt001a9138,

Welcome to our community forums and thank you for your first post.

Sorry to hear you are having issues when trying to block websites on your account. Just to confirm are you reporting websites as seen here? https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/feedback Also is your child safe button activated? 

Thanks,

Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

As far as I know the only way to get this to work STILL is to click on the link further up this post which takes you to the old interface which then works.

Hasn't been fixed as far as I know.

Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

I am having this exact issue using both the new and the legacy screen. Any chance of a fix please?  This is pretty key functionality for people using it for child safety.

Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

Hi @alba21,

Welcome to our community forums and thank you for your first post.

Sorry to hear you are having a similar issue when trying to block websites. We can understand the concern caused especially with child safety. Just to clarify, when did this issue first occur? Does the problem persist across multiple devices and browsers? 

Thanks,

Re: Websafe not blocking apps on iPhone and iPad eg Instagram

Hi @sutty86, thanks for reaching out to us and a warm welcome to the Virgin Media forums.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the web safe.
May I ask if you are doing this on the MyVM app?
Are you able to try another device / browser?
Please clear all cache and cookies before doing so.

Kind regards,
Ilyas.
