To put a password on private browsing on your iPhone, you can enable Content & Privacy Restrictions within the Screen Time settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Screen Time.”
3. If you haven’t set up Screen Time before, tap on “Turn On Screen Time” and follow the prompts to set it up. If you have already set it up, skip to step 4.
4. Tap on “Content & Privacy Restrictions.” You may be prompted to enter your device passcode or use Face ID/Touch ID to authenticate.
5. In the Content & Privacy Restrictions menu, tap on “Content & Privacy Restrictions” again to enable it if it’s not already enabled.
6. Scroll down and locate the “Web Content” section and tap on it.
7. In the Web Content settings, tap on “Limit Adult Websites” to enable it. This will restrict access to adult content.
8. Now, tap on “Use Screen Time Passcode.” This will allow you to set a separate passcode to protect the Content & Privacy Restrictions settings.
9. Enter a 4-digit passcode of your choice and verify it by entering it again.
10. Once your passcode is set, you can customize other restrictions if desired. For example, you can block specific websites by tapping on “Approved Websites Only” and managing the list of allowed websites.
11. To further restrict browsing, you can tap on “Always Allow” under the “Web Content” section and choose “Never” to prevent private browsing mode entirely.
12. Once you have made the desired changes, you can exit the Settings app. The passcode you set will be required to access and modify the Content & Privacy Restrictions settings in the future.
By following these steps, you can effectively put a password on private browsing on your iPhone or iPad, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain websites and features.
