How to add time limits for Safari with Apple’s parental controls

• 1 minute

🤷‍♂️ Maybe I’m crazy, but in my Apple family account “Safari” isn’t listed as an option under Screen Time > App Limits, so I can’t add time limits for web browsing.

💡 Workaround: Disable Safari, install a different browser, and put a time limit on that instead.

  1. On your child’s device, install a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Edge, or Firefox).
  2. On your own device, go to Settings > Family and select your child account.
  3. Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps & Features and disable Safari.
  4. Go to Screen Time > App Limits and add a time limit for your browser.
