Explicit Content Switch

As I understand it, if a parent wants to use content blockers in addition to Apple's filters, an enterprising child can simply go to Settings>Safari>Content Blockers and unselect "All Websites" to disable them, even with Restrictions enabled.


Is this true?


Is there a way to disable the ability to disable content blockers?


Or are the only options

  • Restrict websites to a whitelist or blacklist in Restrictions

or

  • Open internet?

Hi bryanr14,


Have you tried what you're saying on a device? On my own device, I

  • Enabled ScreenTime, including the built-in content filter
  • Then went to Settings>Safari>Content Blockers
  • And the "Other Websites" toggle is still switchable.
  • And content blockers are still toggleable via the "AA puzzle icon" in the Safari search bar.


What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
