Website restrictions not working? Under "Content and Privacy" I selected "Allowed Websites Only" and added some sites but it still allows my child to access any website. I can of course remove "Safari" under Apps and that works to remove the whole program from access, but I wanted to provide access to a select group of websites. All the other restrictions appear to be working.
Hello CH_Regina,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! We understand you are using Screen Time restrictions to block specific websites from being accessed on your iPad. We are happy to help provide some guidance.
To start, could you let us know if these restrictions have ever worked properly in the past for only allowing some websites? Or has this never worked? Does the same thing happen if you enable the web content restrictions and add a particular website under the "Never Allow" section? We want to further isolate the behavior you are seeing on the iPad. We also want to make sure that the steps outlined in the following article are being followed to enable restrictions. You can read more in the section titled "Prevent web content":
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
We would also recommend making sure that there aren't any software updates available for the iPad. You can check for software updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Keep us updated on how it goes!
Best Regards.
So disabling Content Restricitions, reboot, and then re-enabling it after 15 minutes fixed the issues.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop on this. If the content restrictions look the same on the iPad as they are configured on your Mac, the next step we would recommend would be to reach out to Apple Support directly so the issue can be investigated further. You can reach out using the following link: Get Support
Cheers.
Setting up new iPAD's for my 3 kids, they previously had a single older iPAD. "Allowed Websites Only" have never worked. I have applied all the latest updates.
All the other restrictions work, it's just the web ones.
And yet the child can go to any website. Looks the same on the actual iPAD as well, so the resitrrictions are syncing, almost immediately actually. I was really impressed with the syncing speed. Make a change on my laptop and it takes effect in a blink on the iPAD...
