We block a number of online properties including Snapchat and YouTube using NextDNS.

We have different profiles for different devices to allow, for example, YouTube on the television but not on kids tablets or phones.

that's only good for the devices using your internet though no? not if they have data.

I install a configuration profile on their devices which forces NextDNS regardless if they're on my wifi, LTE or their friend's wifi.

why would you give a kid data? (as in cell data, presumably) I guess, to be able to helicopter them from anywhere...

Apple devices would still have parental controls in that case, though, I think?

Cellphone companies should really step up, here.

Even if they don't have data ... they may use someone else's wifi. NextDNS configuration profiles address this - https://apple.nextdns.io/
