How to block website in mobile phone?

It is possible to block websites on a mobile phone by utilizing the in-built capabilities such as Screen Time on iPhone (under Content and Privacy Restrictions) and Digital Wellbeing on Android. You may also apply the third-party applications such as antivirus programs or BlockSite. To have a network wide solution you can also block access to certain sites by simply altering your DNS configuration to a filtered service such as OpenDNS.
 
You can block websites on a mobile phone by using browser settings, Screen Time (iPhone), or Digital Wellbeing (Android). You can also install parental control apps, use a DNS blocker, or enable router-level blocking to restrict access across all apps and browsers.
 
To block a website on a mobile phone, go to Settings > Screen Time (iPhone) or Digital Wellbeing/Parental Controls (Android). Use Content & Privacy Restrictions or Website Filters to add sites to the block list. Alternatively, use third-party apps like Mobicip or Qustodio for more control.
