I'm not familiar with Lightspeed's MDM but with Casper Suite from Jamf I can set triggers to install a profile that removes Safari and the Camera as soon as an App that is on our blacklist gets installed. Its been a great way for students to bring misconduct directly to the teachers. These triggers are based on when the device updates it inventory with the MDM.

Hey everyone,

Within our district we have been seeing a rise in popularity of the messaging app, Tango, from students in 5th Grade and up. We have had a few incidents with kids chatting with people from around the world, and receiving adult content from strangers.

We have tried to block the domain we thought the app was using, but it still will send and receive messages. We also reached out to the company to try and figure out another possible solution to no avail.

We use Lightspeed's MDM and can only block apps based on their age rating. This app is 4+, and we have currently tried our best to not remove the app store. Removing the app store is a last resort for us.

Has anyone else had to deal with this app or another messaging like this? We have heard that the MDM Airwatch allows you to block specific apps, and we are currently researching it. Anyone using that MDM?

Sorry for the wall of text, but thanks for reading.
