Mother in law does not savvy tech and the malware games she installs are a real problem.
Would ideally like to prevent even apps installing other apps. Am sure those evil card/mahjong apps somehow sideload even more terrifying apps.
@dbat what about creating her a profile on the phone that doesn't allow her to install any apps?

@dbat in addition what the other poster said, apps like

or
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.celzero.bravedns
allow block specific network connections. -

@dbat can you tell her to not just install random shit? does she not listen? (even so i dont think you should be imposing with restrictions like that unless it’s a shared device in which case sure i suppose)
