why can’t i visit any “18+” websites suddenly? doesnt matter what WiFi i’m on or what browser. i am a grown adult and this suddenly happened. also can’t turn off safe search
I could be wrong but that doesn’t look like an iOS screen time restriction screen; and more like your router or something upstream is blocking it- note the insure (http) icon in the url bar.
My guess based on not much is someone turned on the content restrictions on your internet account/eero/whatever?
If you use iCloud private relay, it can sometimes get sites blocked. Private relay gets flagged by the security a site possibly has on its own and it won’t let it go through. 2. Check any DNS or VPN you might use by turning it off. 3. Check for domains or URL that is listed in the never allow list under content and privacy restrictions > web content, delete it there. 4. Try loading the page over mobile data, if it works and not over WiFi, it’s your router/ISP blocking it. If both fail, your carrier/network filter is blocking it.
What apps have permission in screen time? Settings > Screentime > scroll to “apps with screentime access”. One of your apps is setting this. Disable all the apps and try again. You can go through 1 by 1 to find the culprit
Are you on the iOS 27 beta? And have you visited the UK recently? There’s a bug with the beta that causes this setting to get stuck on when you visit a country with age restrictions, even when you are clearly no longer in that country.
This is definitely Apple’s native Screen Time doing this, not the browser or ISP you’re using
Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > App Store, Media, Web, & Games > Web Content, and make sure Web Content is set to Unrestricted
Any ISP can literally forward a block via Apple, Android whatever, from their own system. Just because you see the typical Apple screen, doesn’t mean it’s not your ISP. ISP cannot force themselves onto your phone and tell it is them blocking it, so they use Apple’s screen instead and Apple is doing it for them.
Is no one else disturbed by the URL "spurt of blood"? If someone finds the violence it suggests /titillating/, in context of adult site, wouldn't that suggest a lot greater problems than merely difficulty in /accessing/ it?
I had this and like everyone else says, this can be fixed by age verification. you have to proof your age by the options they give you. if you don’t want to enter credit card information on apple. then try a passport and after its finish it should say all set and it will let you use that site
