Safari off, or only the sites you allow

iPhone · Free · built in

What it does

Hides Safari, or limits it to a list of websites. The apps you keep still work.

Cost

Free, built in.

How to set it up

On iOS 26: Settings › Screen Time › Content & Privacy Restrictions › Allowed Apps & Features › Safari, off. On iOS 27, built-in apps are listed under Other Features; check that Safari is there. Pair it with No new apps, or another browser gets around it, and lock it with a passcode someone else holds.

How easy to get around

As firm as the passcode.

What people say

Jake Knapp turned off Safari and kept it that way for years. The catch is QR-code menus and links people send you. Some people allow Safari for 10 to 30 minutes a day instead.
