We get hundreds of emails a day asking us about filter compatibility and our position on this matter. To clear things up we will provide our official position here:
Parents, bochurim, and yungerleit be warned: A filter is a must for using these 4G phones. A person owning one of these phones without a filter is placing himself/herself in a really really bad situation. For this same reason, we provide kosher apps and not telegram, whatsapp, chrome, youtube, etc. As for which filters work with these apps, and which filter is better or worse, we do not take a position, as things are constantly changing. Please consult with your local TAG, GEDER office, Livigent, etc., to find out what your options are.

The film follows the quirky, artistic Katie and her technophobic dad, Rick. Their family is "blended" in a modern sense—not by remarriage, but by the presence of a "found" family member: their bizarre, AI-obsessed son, Aaron, and their goofy but lovable pug, Monchi.
