Best phone monitoring/control for disabled adult

[H0wdy]

Hello,

I have an adult sibling who became mentally disabled, and we legally took over all of his property. One of his issues is when he has a phone, which he lives, he sometimes sends crazy texts, emails, and posts crazy things on social media.

The authorities contacted me last week because he was posting nonsense online but it could be considered a threat. After they spoke with him, they determined he was not a threat. That being said, we had to take away his phone again, but it is one of the few things he loves.

Someone suggested we use Disney circle, but is there a better option that can monitor everything he does on the phone and restrict him from sending form mails through websites, using social media, etc?

There must be some app that disables some feature on the phone or uninstall those apps. But it will not help if he can reset it back to factory settings.

There's things like Net Nanny, which are supposed to be able to restrict access to social media, etc.

But if the phone has a browser and it's online, he can probably access and do many things with it. What does he actually use the phone for? What does he like? Is he mainly playing games, taking photos, listening to music, etc? Does it have to actually be online and connected to the internet? Remove WiFi and carrier data internet access?

FWIW, this is something on my Oppo R9 Plus....

...and basically the idea is you lock out what you don't what them to access with a password. Sure other phones have something similar.

However as @beagleX pointed out, most phones can easily be rebooted into recovery and factory reset from there usually. Would your adult sibling know how to do that?
