All websites suddenly blocked

(The image is just an example I was on Reddit at the time) I’m not sure what I did but I’ve suddenly had this website block on every page I’ve visited since a few days ago. Google, YouTube, my school portal. I’m not sure if I accidentally hit something in settings or if this is a new issue all together.

Are you on a Family Plan where restrictions can be set by the Organizer. It appears that the Screen Time setting you have set is to only allow access to Approved Sites. The setting for a change on your device is at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions (or App Store, Media, Web & Games depending on your OS version) > Web Content. If you are on a Family Plan, then your setting there will make no difference as the control is done on the Organizers device.


If this is a managed device from a school, then they are the ones that control what websites you can visit and they can make those changes remotely at any time.
