Screentime Issues

Hello AppleUser1840,

This behavior sounds specific to Content & Privacy Restriction, so we recommend taking the following steps: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

"Set Content & Privacy Restrictions

1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap it again. Choose "This is My [Device]" or "This is My Child's [Device]."

• If you're the parent or guardian of your device and want to prevent another family member from changing your settings, tap Use Screen Time Passcode to create a passcode, then re-enter the passcode to confirm. After you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it. 
• If you're setting up Screen Time on your child's device, follow the prompts until you get to Screen Time Passcode and enter a passcode. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. After you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it. 

1. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions."

To prevent web content, not just specific apps, try deleting the website and re-adding it.

"Prevent web content

1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and enter your Screen Time passcode. 
3. Tap Content Restrictions, then tap Web Content.
4. Choose Unrestricted Access, Limit Adult Websites, or Allowed Websites. 

Depending on the access you allow, you might need to add information, like the website that you want to restrict."

Cheers.

AppleUser1840,

We appreciate those additional details. We recently released iOS 16.2. Updates like this install feature enhancements and bug fixes that can resolve issues like this. These steps from Update your iPhone or iPad show how to do this:

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.

3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.

4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.

5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

Once your iPhone is fully updated, let us know if this issue with restricted websites continues and we will move forward from there.

Take care!

Having the same issue! It appears just safari is affected, other browsers like Firefox and brave correctly block the websites on the block list from loading. If you can restrict yourself to not using safari, that might be an option for you…

I’m not seeing it currently on iOS 16.2, so it might be resolved there, but it’s still present on iPadOS 16.2.
