How to block websites on your iPhone: check out a step-by-step guide
Whether you're looking to manage your screen time or set some boundaries on your kid's device, blocking certain websites on your iPhone can be a useful tool. While parental controls offer broader oversight, a direct method exists for filtering websites in Safari. This guide will walk you through the steps.
1. Open Settings: Begin by opening the Settings app on your iPhone. It's easily identifiable by its grey cogs icon.
2. Tap "Screen Time": Scroll down and select "Screen Time."
3. Tap "Content & Privacy Restrictions": You might need to enter your Screen Time passcode if you've set one up previously.
4. Toggle on "Content & Privacy Restrictions": Ensure this switch is turned on.
5. Tap "Content Restrictions": Next, navigate to "Content Restrictions."
6. Select "Web Content": Here, you have three options to choose from:
- Unrestricted Access: Allows all websites.
- Limit Adult Websites: Automatically restricts access to adult websites, with options to always allow or never allow specific sites.
- Allowed Websites: Only allows access to pre-approved websites, with the ability to add extra sites as needed.
Blocking websites on your iPhone through these steps helps manage and control access to content, offering a straightforward solution whether for personal use or to ensure a safe browsing environment for children.
