How to prevent app deletion

[den_lim]

is there a setting i can turn on so that son wont be able to delete apps on the iphone? When he plays with phone, sometimes nadedelete niya yung mga apps.

Not through normal means. Go to applei for more info.

Anyway, you can reinstall them although that can be quite inconvenient, depending on the number of apps involved.

Apple should have included this in their restrictions setting to those children playing with their parent's iDevices like den_lim's.

We just tell our 2-yr old daughter "NO" everytime she's about to delete an app. Now she doesn't do it anymore.
Problem now is she deletes photos. :P

Unfortunately, those tiny littles Xs are just too irresistible.

Fortunately for us, this problem is addressed in the upcoming iOS 4.2 update: http://childproofapps.com/2010/11/20...tion-settings/

Hope this helps!

Nice to know the 4.2 upgrade includes it. My nephew deletes a lot of apps!

kids these days.... haha! instead of playing outdoors, they tinker with your electronics and delete apps while they're at it.
