Apple’s Screen Time comes with many parental control features to help keep track of your device usage and also block access to things like apps, cameras, and even set communication limits. Another equally helpful parental control feature is the ability to limit adult content on iPhone and iPad. Before handing over the iPhone to your kid, you should take advantage of this feature to shield your child against offensive content. Whether you want to safeguard your child against adult content or wish to keep any explicit stuff away from your iOS 14 device, this guide is what you need to get started.
Screen Times offers comprehensive tools for content restrictions on iOS. So, depending on your needs, you can block access to not only shady websites but also ward off explicit books, movies, and TV shows. Not just that, you can even stop Siri from using explicit language. So, if you often see your little kid triggering the virtual assistant, make sure to filter Siri’s language.
- Up next, tap on Content Restrictions.
I would recommend you to go with the ‘Allowed websites only’ option to better safeguard your kids’ online browsing experience. It will only let the kids access select websites. You can expand the allowed websites list at any time. If you select the ‘Limit Adult Websites’ option, we suggest you also limit websites like Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Mastodon, Sharesome, and others that are known to host adult content.
- Next, tap on Movies/TV Shows/Apps/Books and choose the preferred option to keep explicit content at bay. The steps look the same as above.
- Under the Siri section, tap on Explicit Language and then choose ‘Don’t Allow’ to prevent the personal assistant from using bad language.
That’s pretty much it! Now that you know how to keep adult content away from your iOS and iPadOS devices, make the most of this parental control feature to safeguard your kids. Also, don’t forget to prevent Siri from using explicit language on your device. Make sure to limit more websites that you think may host adult content and be accessible on your kid’s iPhone or iPad.
