screen time approval problem with safari

Hi,

just setup screen time for my kids iPads. the problem is that,


  • if they ask for approval for Safari
  • I approve the request
  • they can go on Safari
  • as soon as they click on a link that opens another tab or what not, it asks for approval again


this simply doesn't work properly, every time a new link or new tab happens, it stops and ask for approval again


does anyone know how to fix it?


cheers

iPad (6th generation)

Hello TheGeekCook,


According to Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support:


Prevent web content
iOS and iPadOS can automatically filter website content to limit access to adult content in Safari and other apps on your device. You can also add specific websites to an approved or blocked list, or you can limit access to only approved websites. Follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and enter your Screen Time passcode. 
3. Tap Content Restrictions, then tap Web Content.
4. Choose Unrestricted Access, Limit Adult Websites, or Allowed Websites. 
Depending on the access you allow, you might need to add information, like the website that you want to restrict.
Restrict Siri web search
To restrict Siri features: 
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
3. Scroll down to Siri, then choose your settings.
You can restrict these Siri features:
• Web Search Content: Prevent Siri from searching the web when you ask a question
• Explicit Language: Prevent Siri from displaying explicit language


Confirm these settings are all correct.


Have a good day.
