How to block a website on the iPhone
Apple has all the parental control and features you need to keep your kids safe and secure while using their iPhones. These controls are tucked inside the Screen Time section of iOS, which is a little confusing because these options do more than limit how long someone can use an iPhone.
Limit adult websites or curate allowed websites
In the Settings app, you have a couple options for restricting access to websites.
If you choose Limit Adult Websites,iOS will automatically block most adult content, though it’s still possible for some to bypass Apple’s filters
If you choose Allowed Websites, you can get more granular and select exactly what websites are accessible on the device. This can take some time, but it’s worthwhile if you want to limit your kids from accessing specific websites on an iPhone.

How to use Allowed Websites on iPhone
While it seems like a bit of work, if you don’t want to rely on Apple to restrict your kids' web browsing, it’s worth spending a few minutes selecting the websites you know your children can safely interact with instead of letting the company handle it. The other nice thing about doing it this way is you can let the list evolve as your children get older. You can narrow the list when they’re ready to access slightly more adult websites.
If they are teenagers, and you feel they’re ready for the whole internet, you can follow the directions above and only block adult websites. And when they’re ready for the whole internet (is anyone really ever ready for the wholeinternet?), you can remove the restrictions and let them go free.
Add every allowed website
And that’s all there is to it.
