How To Block Websites on iPhone

There are two options to block websites on iPhone:

• Option 1: Use the built-in Apple Screen Time feature

• Option 2: Install an app designed to block websites (Refocus)

Option 1: Apple Screen Time

Choose this option if you want to avoid installing another application. However, you lose powerful features and flexibility.

1. Open Apple "Settings" app

2. Select "Screen Time"

3. Select "App Limits"

4. Scroll to bottom and select "websites"

5. Select "Add Website" and type in the website you want to block

YouTube Will Now Be Blocked In Safari After 1 Minute

IMPORTANT: You need to use Safari for this method

PRO TIP: Instead of selecting 1 website (which means you always have to visit that specific website for 1 minute for it to block), select multiple and it will automatically ensure you can only visit all the websites for a total of only 1 minute
