You can set up Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time.

Open Settings ➡️ Screen Time ➡️ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➡️ Content Restrictions ➡️ Web Content: Choose Limit Adult Websites.

Block Adult Content in “Search and Lookup” Sadly, there are numerous p*rnographic images that can be found on the homepage search when “Show Related Content” is toggled on. There is no way to turn “show related content” off with a passcode because it is not under Screen Time settings. Even the strictest of settings in Screen Time one can do (disable Siri, disable Safari, set a strict Downtime, “Only Approved Websites”, etc.) does not fix the issue & there are still p*rnographic images to be seen by searching keywords or even accidentally. Moving one simple button found under Settings through “Search” -> “Search and Lookup” -> “Show Related Content” under “Screen Time” would fix everything, so I have asked Apple to please do this. Are there any other ideas or tips?

Restrict Safari New Profiles I’d like to think I do everything I can to protect my family on the internet. I have restrictions on. I have it to where history can not be deleted. until today, I came across safari New Profiles. You can simply make a new profile. Browse as you please. And delete the profile. Which is pretty much private browsing. All one has to do is create a profile, browse, delete. And I’ll never know the profile was ever created with no track of online proof. any fixes around this?! I don’t think you can lock safari settings. And there’s no where in restrictions to restrict a new profile being made in safari. this is on iPhone by the way. thanks in advance

There is no practical way to identify all adult material on the web. You can go to Settings/Screen Time/Content Restrictions/Web Content/Limit Adult Websites, which will block sites known to contain adult content.

The alternative is to choose Allowed Websites, then choose the sites you want a user to be able to view.
