Screentime not blocking adult site even when set to allowed sites

Hello,

I manage my sons iPhone with screentime. Web content is set to allowed sites, and I've created a substantial white list. Today we found Pornhub and a number of other adult sites in his browser history. My wife is irate. What can be done to help block this in the future?

Screen time / blocking a site Hi their , even when I set restrictions on my iPhone to block adult sites , it’s still giving the option to allow the site on safari? Surely the idea of this is to stop children unlocking the site, but it’s as easy as clicking allow when it’s giving you the option when you try to go on a restricted site? how do I permanently block sites without the option of unlocking as easily ?

What could be the issue for "Limit Adult Websites" not working in Screen Time? Hi all...I have Screen Time configured and the Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content option set to "Limit Adult Websites". My understanding of this setting was that it will block a known list of adult web sites maintained by Apple. This does not seem to be the case. I tested with a well known adult website (beginning with "p") and Safari didn't even slow down before displaying the site. Before a well-meaning Apple support tech chimes in, let me add: Screen time is set up fine and is working in other respects. I am updated to the most recent iOS. I am very well versed in the configuration of Screen Time. All I seem to be able to find online is either information saying "just set it to Limit Adult Sites and voila it works!" or other asking the same question with no solution in site (going back for for years.) I suspect that it will boil down to "call Apple support" which I've done for other things and usually it it a long arduous process that typically does not yield any positive results so I thought I'd add my question about this to the long, long tradition of parents who have asked it before me. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. How does the Limit Adult Sites setting relate to Allowed Websites? Isn't it more restrictive? Otherwise I'd have to somehow become aware of all the adult websites and enter them into screentime. That'll be a never-ending process.
