Here is how you can block websites on iPhone or iPad and prevent the chances of your children being exposed to in-appropriate content.
Block Websites on iPhone and iPad
As you may agree, it is not always possible to prevent children from getting hold of an iPhone or iPad to play games and watch videos.
However, the problem with this is the possibility of children being exposed to inappropriate content, especially if they are not supervised and left on their own to play with mobile devices.
Hence, iPhone provides the option to block Adult content and also the option to make only a limited number of child friendly websites accessible on your mobile device.
1. Steps to Block Adult Content on iPhone and iPad
Follow the steps below to block Adult Content on iPhone/iPad and prevent children from being accidentally exposed to age in-inappropriate content.

Note: Make sure the toggle next to Content & Privacy Restrictions is set to ON position.
2. On Content Restrictions screen, tap on Web Content.
3. On the next screen, select Limit Adult Websites option.
