How Do You Block Apps on an iPhone Easily?

[jamesbolt]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out how do you block apps on an iPhone so my child can’t access certain games and social media apps. I’ve heard about Screen Time restrictions, but I’m not sure how to set everything up correctly. Can someone explain the best method to block specific apps or prevent new ones from being installed? I’d appreciate simple steps or tips that have worked for you. Thanks!

To block apps on an iPhone easily, go to Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed and select the apps you want to allow. Alternatively, you can use Screen Time's Downtime feature to block apps during certain hours. You can also use third-party apps like Freedom or SelfControl to block distracting apps across all your devices.

To block apps on an iPhone easily, go to Settings, then Screen Time, and click on 'Turn On Screen Time.' After that, tap 'App Limit' and set the time limit for the app you want to restrict. Alternatively, you can go to Screen Time, then 'Always Allowed' and exclude the app from being restricted.

Use Screen Time: go to Settings → Screen Time → App Limits or Content & Privacy Restrictions, set a passcode, then block specific apps or categories.

To block apps on an iPhone, go to Settings > Screen Time. Tap App Limits, choose a category or specific app, then set a time limit and enable Block at End of Limit. You can also use Content & Privacy Restrictions to prevent app installations or deletions. Set a Screen Time passcode to secure the settings.
