Set Web Content to LIMIT ADULT WEBSITES or add the website to the ALWAYS ALLOWED list in the iPhone® Settings app to fix the "Website Not Allowed - (website name) is a restricted website" error message.
About the Error
- Apple's free device controls are called Screen Time. A specific setting in Screen Time, Web Content, allows Apple to filter and block explicit websites on the device.
- When Web Content blocks a website, you'll see a "Website Not Allowed - (website name) is a restricted website" error message.
- If your iPhone® is running an older iOS® (iPhone operating system) version, the error may say You cannot browse this page at "___" because it is restricted error message.
Adjust Web Content
- Open the Settings app on the iPhone® or iPad®.
- Tap "Screen Time."
- Tap "Content and Privacy Restrictions."
- Tap "App Store, Media, Web, & Games" and if prompted, enter your Screen Time Passcode.
- Tap “Web Content.”
- On this screen, check two items:
A) Web Content: Is Web Content set to “Only Approved Websites”? If so, change it to “Limit Approved Websites” to enable browsing or add the website name to the “ALWAYS ALLOW” list.
B) NEVER ALLOW: The NEVER ALLOW section will block any site you add. If the site you are attempting to access is listed, remove it by swiping left on the website name and tapping "Delete." Then try reloading the website!
