Fold’em and iOS

Screen Time is the restriction system built into iOS, and Family Controls is the framework an app uses to ask for one piece of it.

• What the two names mean
• What granting it hands over
• Granting it, and the two ways it can fail
• What this does not do

Four kinds: Gambling free, which counts how long you have been gambling free, Circle, which carries people you can call, SOS, a small pad, and Standing with, which carries the people you support.

• Four kinds, ten faces
• Where the numbers come from
• Adding one, and choosing its face
• What this does not do

It is the banner that holds your place while you are setting Fold’em up, on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.

• What it shows
• Why it can last longer than a sitting
• When it starts, and when it stops
• What this does not do

Because a protected install starts on provisional delivery, which iOS files in Notification Center with no banner, no sound and no permission prompt at all.

• What provisional delivery is
• One centre, and the switches over it
• The ask, and the row that carries it afterwards
• What this does not do

Fold’em runs on iPhone, on iOS 26.5 or later, and on nothing else.

• The floor, and why it sits at 26.5
• What else the phone needs
• Before you start
• What this does not do

Sign in on the new phone with the same Apple Account and your protection comes back from the server: the protection itself, your gambling free count and the person who holds your key, exactly as they were.

• What comes back on its own
• What has to be done again, and why
• Moving to the new phone
• What this does not do
