Some schools have reported that the iPads their students are using in the classroom no longer have the supervision they had on iOS 6. Several school superintendents have reported have reported to All Things Digital on Thursday that after updating to iOS 7, the iPads they were supervising have been stripped of their filters, allowing students to potentially access inappropriate content.
Apple's iOS 7 launched last month. Just a week after its launch, Apple reported that the operating system was running on 200 million iOS devices worldwide. According to AllThingsD, the operating system was installed on "thousands" of tablets in schools.
Apple has acknowledged the bug, saying that it's also seeing it among business users who are presumably using remote device management features. The company has promised a fix for later this month.
Since this has been reported, the filters being stripped. But then allowing students to access some inappropriate content, then the school has done the right thing. Especially if younger children are involved, using the tablets.
