Apps to block websites on iPhone: SimpleSentinel's web filter for your child

Of the apps to block websites on iPhone, SimpleSentinel is the one built around your own list: allow the web freely, limit adult sites, allow only sites you approve, or block it entirely.

Under a restricted mode SimpleSentinel also switches Siri off on your child's device, closing a commonly overlooked back door to the web. Your child can ask for a site from their phone; you allow it always, for today, or not now.

One price, unlimited children and devices. 7-day free trial, billed by Apple.

How the web filter works, and what still works

✓ Web filtering with a list you control

Allow the web freely, limit adult sites, allow only sites you approve, or block it entirely, with your own allow and block lists. Under a restricted mode SimpleSentinel also switches Siri off on the child's device, closing a commonly overlooked back door to the Web.

✓ Permission to delete an app

Apple's switch for deleting apps is all or nothing. With SimpleSentinel your child asks and you decide.

Apple's site-by-site approval vs a list you control

Apple's own approval flow asks you site by site. SimpleSentinel keeps a list you control: allow the web freely, limit adult sites, allow only sites you approve, or block it entirely. When your child asks for a site, you allow it always, for today, or not now, and a restricted mode switches Siri off so the back door is closed too.

What still works under the filter

Phone calls keep working. Apple keeps the Phone app reachable no matter what. Up to 40 always-allowed sites per child. A site allowed for today closes again when the next pause or downtime starts. SimpleSentinel never reads what your child types, watches or browses.

Questions parents ask about this: Can I permanently block a website from my child's phone. See also SimpleSentinel reviews.
