Fix Bug Bypassing Interruption with the Control Center

Bug Reports🍏 iOS

DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO ABUSE THIS BUG

I’ve been loving one sec and have saved myself a lot of time off of Instagram, but I’ve discovered a bug and have been abusing it for quite a while.

If you slide down the control center in the app switcher, close it, open Instagram quickly, then quickly open the control center again, you completely bypass the interruption from one sec closing the control center; you are free to scroll without interruption or anything. I was hoping there’d be a fix, but if not, I would love recommendations to fix the settings in a way to avoid this habit I’ve developed abusing this.

    Settings lock bypass

    When entering settings through the control centre (e.g. wi fi settings etc) the settings lock does not work. Please could you patch the lock to not allow settings to be opened via the control centre?

    "Look Screen Time Setting" Bug

    The "Look Screen Time Setting" function has a bug. The iOS Settings can be accessed via entries such as Wi-Fi settings or Bluetooth settings without triggering the shortcut.

    The shortcut can be modified to trigger when closing iOS Settings and One Sec. When there is an "ongoing block" item and the permission to access "Screen Time" is turned off, the One Sec app should open to remind the user to re-authorize.

    It actually makes one sec think that the intervention was run. If I close the app and reopen it normally after doing this, no intervention is run. The debug banner says no intervention was run because the user is within the 10-minute intentional app switching window.
