Staying honest

The phone reports on itself, and the server decides what that report means.

• What the phone sends, and when
• The silent probe, and the tighter one for a circle
• Silence, counted
• What this does not do

They are the three main words your keyholder and supporters see about your phone, and each one is read from the phone's own reports.

• The three main words
• The three states, on their phone
• The quieter words
• What your keyholder can and cannot do with it

The app shield runs on Screen Time, so switching that permission off in iOS Settings stops it holding, and Fold’em says so instead of pretending otherwise.

• What stops, and what does not
• Who sees it
• Money kept, and your count
• The way back

It is an optional restriction that stops apps being deleted from the phone while it holds, so that deleting Fold’em stops being the easy way around the block.

• What it actually restricts
• Where you choose it, and where you change it
• On is instant, off is not
• Who sees the wait

Deleting Fold’em is not a way out of protection.

• The lock is not stored in the app
• The three things that are done again
• Why the block does not drift after that
• What this does not do
