How to block porn on your phone
Step-by-step guides to block porn and adult websites on iPhone, iPad and Android — the free built-in settings, the bypasses they miss, and the lock that holds.
Every phone already ships with a content filter that works. iOS blocks adult sites system-wide through Screen Time; Android does it at the network level through Private DNS. Both are free, both take minutes, and both are covered step by step in the guides below.
They also share one flaw. You set the passcode, so you can remove the filter as fast as you added it. That is why people cycle through five blockers and end up where they started. The filter decides what is reachable. Something else has to decide whether you get to change your mind.

- > What is the fastest way to block porn on a phone?
- On iPhone: Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, Content Restrictions, Web Content, Limit Adult Websites. On Android: Settings, Network & internet, Private DNS with a family-filtering resolver. Both take under five minutes and cost nothing.
- > Why do these blocks stop working after a few weeks?
- Because you set the passcode. Screen Time and Play Store PINs are enforced by the same person they restrict, so the block is only ever as strong as a tired decision at 1 a.m.
- > What actually makes a block hold?
- Two things the settings cannot do: a passcode held by another person, and a timer whose end date cannot be moved from the device. That is what NoPhone adds on top of the built-in filters.
- > Is there a free porn blocker for phones?
- Yes — the built-in iOS and Android controls are free and effective at filtering. NoPhone is also free, and it handles the part filters do not: stopping you from switching them off.
