Safari as Always Allowed (Screen Time)

I wanted to force myself to use phone only when it is a necessity and decided to try out the downtime option. I would like to have most apps blocked except for my email, notes and safari so I can write down some ideas or do the basic research but unfortunately I cannot add safari to the always allowed tab. Why is that? Is there a way to get safari to work anyway? I noticed that time limit works on sites rather than the safari app itself but still I did not find an option to let me chose which sites are allowed.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hi Afolf,

We understand you'd like to add Safari to 'Always Allowed'.

Safari is set to 'Always Allowed' by default, however all websites are restricted during Down Time.

As a workaround, you could manually add websites under 'Prevent web content', as shown here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

However please note, the web content restriction will apply at all times, not just during Down Time.

If you would like to see this feature potentially implemented in future, you can request it here: Feedback - iPhone.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Cheers!
