How to Block Porn on YouTube
To block porn on YouTube, first change YouTube's own content settings below. To block it for good, add YouTube to your QuitPorn block list and lock porn off your phone and computer. During a lock nobody can switch it off or end it early, including you and our support team.
YouTube has no porn, but it has plenty of suggestive videos that can lead you there. Restricted Mode hides most of them.
How to Block Porn on YouTube for Free
- In the YouTube app, tap your profile, then Settings, then General, and turn on Restricted Mode.
- On a computer, click your profile picture and turn on Restricted Mode at the bottom of the menu.
- Turn it on in every browser and on every account you use.
- Clear watch history that is filling your feed with suggestive videos.
What YouTube's Own Settings Can't Do
- Restricted Mode can be switched off in the same menu.
- It hides most mature videos, not all.
- It has to be turned on separately in each browser and app.
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 YouTube So It Stays Blocked
QuitPorn blocks porn in every browser and app on your phone and computer. Add YouTube (youtube.com and the app) to your own block list, and it stays blocked on every device until your lock ends. You choose the lock length, from 1 day up to 365 days, and nobody can end it early.
- 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.
