How does Safetelecom’s KosherOS do it?
custom app or hosts
Must be a custom app cuz I’m the middle of hiring a very decent Android developer and he’s been trying very hard to try to block all the features that need to be blocked and he hadn’t had full success yet
I added a route to WhatsApp in my blocking app - WhatsApp only with text without images (only the initial images which is not clear) based on a whitelist of 3 domains - g.whatsapp.net
Anyone who does this with accessibility can be bypassed on some devices (for example when they dare to clean everything running in the background even on official devices) so I don’t recommend it… just block by domains
(And everyone who edited the app has problems updating to the version that WhatsApp requested…)
@Megalife is the first (and only……) to properly block Status and Channels.
Available on the Zen model
Safetelecom’s KosherOS?
The way @megalife blocks it is way more advanced
and they block status as wel
The whole Updates tab just shows blank
You’re saying the tab is not there at all?
there but blank
You have any clue how it’s done?
yes
LOL
Nice thanks for helping the forums
Lol 
You can’t give any clues or anything of how it’s done?
Well put it like this that if they are also saying it does not have the ability to send and receive videos and pictures obviously it’s a modded version of WhatsApp
recyclerView in framework?
Return blank if Whatsapp updates_list?
Blink twice if yes 
While normally we would not comment on such a thread and would instead love to watch everyone guessing 
it is important to dispel such a rumor:
Megalife does not use a modded version of WhatsApp or any app for that matter! Especially in the case of WhatsApp we would not risk customers having their accounts banned by using a WhatsApp mod. Our system is designed in a way where we can filter much more than the standard MDM solutions with much more fine-grained control.
And you build from source 
Many more options.
I’m not involved in this entire project but i hope you realize our giving us the desire to extract your rom’s and reverse engineer it. .
its probably secure. Just saying…
Hard to reverse Frameworks smali…
If we would have the rom i’m sure we can work stuff out. Eg jadx for whatsapp package etc.
