Need to learn how to block porn on iPhone devices and Android devices? We're here to help! Blocking porn is an important part of keeping your child safe online.
Today, I'm going to walk you through how to block porn on iPhone and Android with three different tools: Apple Screen Time, Google Family Link, and Bark.
Apple Screen Time
Apple Screen Time is a free tool that works best when both you and your child have Apple devices.
Tap Settings, then Screen Time.
From the settings screen tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. At the top of the screen, turn the toggle on.
Tap Content Restrictions. Then Web Content.
You can select “Limit Adult Websites” which limits access to many adult websites automatically.
Or, you can choose a stricter option: “Allowed Websites Only.”
Google Family Link
Download and install Google Family Link on your phone. Open it.
Then, tap Manage settings.
Tap Google Chrome.
Select “Try to block explicit sites” or “Only allow approved sites.” This means you'll have to manually add in sites that are approved and sites that are blocked.

Bark
After you download the Bark parent app, follow the on-screen instructions to get started and connect your child’s device (Bark works whether your child has an iOS or Android device).
From the dashboard, tap Screen time, then Rules, then Default rules.
This is where our world-class web blocker lets you select exactly which categories of websites and apps your child can access on their device.
Bark makes it easy with 19 different categories you can block — porn and sexual content as well as streaming services, online gaming, and more.
You can block any additional sites or apps as you need to.
