I did not ask what you define but what @FliphoneBochur defines
The tcl 3 cannot be filtered by tag
Thats the definition what a real filter is blocking browser and other stuff that need to be blocked without being able to undo it. Do u have another definition?
Never mind
Thereās no real definition for a filter
A filter can mean:
- Just inappropriate things blocked
- Browser is blocked but apps are on
- Everything but calling (and maybe texting) is blocked
There are so many different meanings for it

This is why he is asking what he means by filter
Because it can mean 100 different things
You forgot one thing is that it cant be reversed with just a factory reset
Thatās not my point 
My point is a filter can mean a hundred different things and he wants to know which out of the hundred it is

We are dealing with a flip phone here there is not so much that it could be
Oh my
Did not intend for anything so complicated to happen
This thread is about filtering the TCL3 which as far as we know there is no way for it to be fully filtered (TAG level filtering like you saidā¦)
So when he said it is fully filtered I asked what he considers fully filtered since no one is aware of a full filter for this specific phone!
(Hope this was clear enough)
I got the phone last night and took some pictures. I have very little time tonight, so I wonāt be able to send them, but stay tuned.

BTW (the one you attached is the latest as of now, Iām just putting it out there), to get the latest list you can always email one@tag.org with phone in the subject line (or MP3, or Camera for those lists) and it will auto reply with the list attached.

Hereās everything I got from the guy in yeshiva:
All he knows is that his father got this TCL Flip 3 straight from the Verizon store in Passaic, and (he claims) his father asked them to take off the browser and app store which they did in the store. Iām a bit skeptical about that detail. It seems to me like itās 100% authentic KaiOS 3.1. As if to further prove that, he recently got a system update (pictured below) which didnāt affect the kashrus status. If this somehow is some sort of filter, I doubt itās Jewish because FM Radio is still on. If he would let I would factory reset the phone and see what happens, but he doesnāt. I now challenge you guys to try to get to the bottom of this mystery. I posted all of the pictures that I think have any useful information. If you want any more pictures/videos, please let me know.

If any mods could get the video to play inline, that would be cool.

Lol someone got to it before meā¦
Funny Verizon has been doing this for a few TCL phones already. Really wonder what their motivation isā¦
Sorry maybe no the spot for it, but this review is hilarious:

Yes, Iād recommend this product.
My kids have a phone for my convenience, not theirs. And letās be real, carrying a flip phone is way more humiliating for a teenager than not having one at all. So, when they pull something like staying up until 3 a.m. on a school night binge watching YouTube, we whip out this glorious little relic. A quick SIM card swap, and boom, theyāre reminded that actions have consequences, one awkward text at a time.
