What Is the Enhanced Protection Level?

The Enhanced protection level provides stricter filtering than the default Basic level.

It is designed to block content that features not only full nudity or pornography, but also material with minimal clothing, such as swimwear and lingerie.

πŸ›‘οΈ What Does Enhanced Protection Do?

When you assign Enhanced protection to a content category, Canopy will:

  • 🧼 Filter out minimal clothing content from websites

  • 🚫 Block access to sites that primarily focus on such material

  • πŸ” Redirect certain apps to their safer, web-based versions

Examples:

  • In the Shopping category, apps like Amazon, AliExpress, and Temu may be redirected to their filtered web versions.

  • In the Social Media category, apps like Instagram, Facebook, and others may also be redirected.

How Redirection Works:

  • πŸ“± On Android: The original app is hidden and replaced with a shortcut to a filtered version in your device’s browser.

  • 🍏 On iPhone/iPad: A version of the app with a green βœ… checkmark appears. This version is safely filtered through Safari.


πŸ”§ How to Apply Enhanced Protection to Categories

You can choose the Enhanced level for specific categories directly from your dashboard.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Open the Canopy Dashboard or the Canopy app on your device.

  2. Select the device profile you'd like to adjust.

  3. Go to Advanced Settings.

  4. A list of content categories will appear.

  5. Each category is set to Filtered by default. Tap the level next to any category.

  6. Select "Enhanced" from the list of options.

Your settings will save automatically and take effect immediately.
