Screen Time - Content and Privacy Restrictions - Websites Never Allow

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16.2

I'm trying to use the Content Restriction feature in Screen Time to block social media websites on an iPhone. I added several addresses, like IG, FB, and Twitter, to the "Never Allow" list.

Despite this, I can still open these websites with no warning, no need for a passcode, nothing, so these sites are still very much allowed.

Iphone is updated to the latest iOS, and I have rebooted it and turned the feature on and off and on again.

Any tips on how to make this feature work?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16
