How to Block Porn on Safari
To block porn on Safari, use QuitPorn. It blocks porn in every browser and app on the device for 1 to 365 days, and nobody can switch it off or end it early, including you and our support team. The free built-in way is below, and it works until someone changes the setting back.
Safari has no porn filter of its own. It uses the Screen Time filter built into your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
How to Block Porn on Safari for Free
- On iPhone or iPad running iOS 27, open Settings, then Screen Time, then Apps & Websites, then Restrictions. Under Websites, set Filtering to Limit Adult Websites. On older iOS versions the same setting is under Content & Privacy Restrictions, Web Content.
- On a Mac: open System Settings, then Screen Time, then Content & Privacy, and turn on the limit on adult websites. Labels differ a little between macOS versions.
- Set a Screen Time passcode so the setting can't be changed without it.
- Turn on SafeSearch at google.com/safesearch so search results are filtered too.
What Safari's Own Settings Can't Do
- Whoever knows the Screen Time passcode can turn the filter off, and that is usually you.
- It only filters known adult sites, so new sites can slip through until the list catches up.
- It covers Safari and some other browsers, but the setting is easy to find and change.
Free settings work until the moment you want them gone. That moment is usually late at night, and the person who set them up is the one deciding.
Block Porn on Safari So It Stays Blocked
QuitPorn blocks porn in every browser and app, private windows included, on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac. You choose the lock length, from 1 day up to 365 days, and nobody can end it early, including our support team. Add any site or app that leads you to porn to your own block list.
- One account, up to 5 devices.
- No password to find or type.
- It ends by itself on the date you chose.
Setup takes under 5 minutes on Android, Windows and Mac, and about 15 on iPhone. See plans.
Who This Is For
Anyone who wants porn gone from their own devices, especially if you have set up a filter before and switched it off. If you are protecting a child's device, use the free steps above with a passcode the child doesn't know.
