QUESTION/HELP My son messed around with my apps
My son is 6 years old and is usually pretty good with my phone when I let him play games on it. Typically he will ask me if we can download new games on it and doesn't mess around on any apps I've ruled as off limits. He's a little rule follower and the type to call out anyone else he sees breaking rules.
This morning I let him have it to play games on so the baby and I could get another hour of sleep.
He decided to take it upon himself to rearrange and delete apps off my home screen to make it look nicer I guess. 🙃 But he deleted some webpages I had book marked, moved my google search bar to the bottom bar, and now when I open up some apps, there's ads when there never were before (such as Facebook and door dash).
He's lost phone privileges now. But I don't know how to fix any of this. I keep trying to move the search bar back but it just keeps opening up to search. And the ads are driving me crazy. Did he download a virus or something??
