Question

Why is the website I'm blocking still able to load?

Community Answer

The website may have an odd address that is bypassing the address you typed. Copy the complete website address from Safari's address bar and paste it into the Restrictions menu.

Question

I forgot my passcode for my restriction. How can I reset it?

Community Answer

You should try to contact Apple; hey might be of assistance. You can always re-install the iPad using a computer, however. Keep in mind that doing so will cause any data on the iPad to be lost; this is where creating a backup will come in handy.

Question

I have caught my dad watching all types of porn! What can I do?

Community Answer

Tell your mom and she'll sort it out. If you live only with your dad, tell him you saw it and you think it's disgusting. He'll be motivated to do something about it.

Question

How do I resolve an issue where my searches open new tabs, then show a locked symbol near the site names, and my "enable restrictions" tab is off?

Community Answer

You may remove the sites that keep opening up by turning on adblock. The locked symbol near the site names are assurance that the site is safe.

Question

What if I don't see the Restrictions option under General?

Community Answer

You probably have an iPad Air 2. Go to Screen Time, Content and Privacy Restrictions, then Content Restrictions. There you will find Web Content; add the site you want to restrict here.

Question

What if I don’t see “Restrictions” in Settings?

Community Answer

Ever since iOS 12, Restrictions was entirely replaced with Screen Time. Read the guide carefully, it will tell you about enabling Screen Time and blocking the websites there.
