Your Path to Digital Wellbeing
Follow our comprehensive guide to transform your iPhone device into a focused, distraction-free tool.
Step One: Block Explicit Sites
Protect yourself from harmful content with powerful content filtering.
Important Disclaimer
While these tools can help block explicit sites, they are not perfect and may be circumvented.
Step 1: Set up Screen Time
Navigate to Settings > Screen Time > App & Website Activity.
Step 2: Block Haram Content
Navigate to Content & Privacy Restrictions > Store, Web, Siri, & Game Center Content (Also knows as Content Restrictions) > Web Content, and then limit adult websites.
Step 3: Block Triggering Sites
Under "Never Allow," list sites with problematic content. For example, Reddit.com and X.com often host Haram content that bypasses "Adult Content" filters. Blocking such sites is recommended.
Step 4: Lock Screen Time Settings (Important!)
Option A (Recommended): Have a trusted friend lock your "Screen Time" settings using their Apple ID and password, not yours. This prevents you from resetting the password without their permission.
Option B: Use Password Locker to generate a complex passcode for yourself - not secure as you maintain reset ability
No Trusted Friend Available?
Use Password Locker - a free service that helps you create and securely store a Screen Time passcode in a way you won't remember. Retrieval requires a ~20-minute process to prevent impulsive unblocking.
