How do I find what operating system I have on my device?

WebChaver offers protection for the four major operating systems (Android™, iOS, Mac, Windows). The operating system is one of the first things you’ll want to check prior to installing. There are very simple steps for locating what operating system is installed across all platforms.

Android™

1. Locate your Android “Settings” app.
2. Once in settings, scroll down on the screen until you reach an option that says “About Phone” or “About Device.” Tap on it.

3. Under “Android Version,” it will list the version number. If the version number begins with a 6.0 or higher, the Android device is compatible with the latest version of the Covenant Eyes app. (If the version number begins with 5 or 4, the Android device is NOT compatible with the latest version of the Covenant Eyes app.)

iPhone® and iPad®

1. On the home screen of your iOS device, locate the “Settings” app.
2. Once in Settings, select “General.”

3. In the “General” screen, tap “About.”

4. The iOS version number will be listed on the “Software Version” line. The Covenant Eyes app for iPhone® works with iOS 11 and higher.

Mac

1. From your Mac desktop, click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen.

2. In the menu, select “About this Mac.”

Windows 8 and Higher

1. From the Windows desktop, right-click the Windows icon in the lower-left corner
2. In the menu that appears select “System.”
