How to block websites with screentime

We as parents find ourselves with the requirement of blocking certain websites from our children. If your child is lucky enough to have an iPhone, Apple has made this easy to do for us parents.

On your childs cell phone, click Settings and scroll down to Screen Time as shown below

Now click on Content & Privacy Restrictions

Find Web Content and click on that as shown below

You should see a screen similar to the one below. Make sure Limit Adult Websites is checked and below under the Never Allow click Add Website and enter the URL of the website you do not want your child to access.

Simply enter the URL and click done and then you can repeat the process as many times as you want.

Why this is so great is no matter if they are using WiFi or Cell Service.. this configured iPhone will never be able to reach the configured sites using a browser.

Now there is a catch… You kid can download a VPN app which will allow them to still connect to the apps. Search the phone for VPN and see if anything comes up. If it does, delete it!
