This article obviously applies to iPhone and iPad, but you can also set time limits for websites on Mac with Screen Time too if you’d like.
So, want to setup website time limits on an iPhone or iPad? Read on!

How to Block Safari with Screen Time in iOS 12

Any parent should be rightfully concerned about the dangers of unrestricted web browsing. Inappropriate sites that spew violence, hate, and racism are rife, not to mention that the chances of stumbling upon adult-related content are quite high . With iOS 12, Apple did what was best — added a ton of app management features with the new Screen Time. Hence, gaining complete control of Safari, the main portal to the internet on an iPhone or iPad, is more than possible.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari Featured](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-Featured_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.jpg)
If you are looking to prevent your child from accessing the internet entirely, then blocking Safari is pretty easy to do via Screen Time. Alternatively, you can choose to block unwanted websites on Safari, and even impose time limits on either the browser or sites individually. There’s also the option to manage restrictions remotely from the comfort of your iOS device should you want to. Let’s look at how you do each of these in turn.
Block Safari
iOS 12 allows you to block Safari in mere seconds, thanks to the built-in restrictions that come alongside Screen Time. The steps below should help you do that.
Step 1: Open the Settings app.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 1](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-1_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.jpg)
Step 2: Tap the option labeled Screen Time.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 2](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-2_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 3: On the Screen Time panel, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 3](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-3_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 4: On the Content & Privacy Restrictions screen, tap Allowed Apps.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 4](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-4_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 5: Turn off the switch next to Safari.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 5](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-5_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
That’s it. Safari is entirely blocked on the iOS device, and won’t appear within the Home screen unless you explicitly choose to allow access to it in the future.
Block App Store
You should know that merely blocking Safari won’t stop your child from downloading another web browser from the App Store and using that as a workaround to access the internet. Hence, it’s in your best interest that you also restrict access to the App Store to prevent that from happening in the first place.
Step 1: Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases from within the Content and Privacy Restrictions screen.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 6](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-6_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 2: Tap the option labeled Installing Apps.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 7](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-7_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 3: Select the option labeled Don’t Allow.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 8](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-8_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Just like with Safari, the App Store should also be blocked as well. Do keep in mind that you have to lift the restriction whenever you want to or allow your child to install an app.
Block Websites
Why block Safari completely when you can simply create a better environment for your child to surf the internet? If harmful sites are a concern, then Screen Time’s online content restrictions should put your mind at rest.
Step 1: On the Content & Privacy Restrictions screen, tap Content Restrictions.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 20](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-20_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 2: Tap Web Content.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 16](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-16_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 3: Tap the option labeled Limit Adult Websites. That should prompt Screen Time to apply a filter to block websites containing adult-related content or themes completely. To block additional sites, use the Add Website option under Never Allow.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 17](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-17_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Alternatively, tap Allowed Websites Only to block access to all websites (except for 10 very kid-friendly sites). Afterward, use the Add Website option that shows up to manually allow access to safe websites of your choice.
Impose Time Limit on Safari
iOS 12 also lets you take things further by restricting overall Safari usage with the use of Screen Time’s App Limits functionality. It should come in pretty useful if all you are after is to minimize the amount of time that your child spends on the internet. Also, it fully complements the web content restrictions that you went through above as a means to gain more control over browsing activities.
Step 1: On the Screen Time panel, tap on the device name.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 20](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-20_181213_115609_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 2: Under the Most Used section, tap Safari.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 21](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-21_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 3: Tap the option labeled Add Limit. The graph to the top of the screen denotes the amount of time that Safari was used throughout the day (or week), along with a daily average to help you determine by how much you want to tone down usage.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 22](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-22_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 4: Specify the amount of time that you want your child to use the app daily, and then tap Add. You can also customize the amount of time for each day within the week by using the option labeled Customize Days.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 12](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-12_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
As soon as the daily time limit runs out, Safari locks itself immediately on the iOS device of your kid. To manage time limits in the future, tap App Limits within the Screen Time panel, and then tap Safari.
Add Time Limits to Websites
Rather than (or in addition to) imposing time limits on Safari, you can also do the same for time-consuming websites. Screen Time displays all web addresses visited via the browser (along with time spent on each site), which you can use to monitor and limit time spent on specific sites — say social media.
Step 1: Under the Most Used section where you selected Safari in the section above, tap on a website that you want to impose a time limit on. Usually, these sites should have the Safari icon listed next to them. However, social media web apps such as Facebook and Instagram feature their respective icons instead.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 23](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-23_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
Step 2: Tap Add Limit, specify an amount of time and then tap Add.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 24](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-24_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
The iOS will block the website automatically when time runs out, while other sites will be accessible without any issue.
Remote Management
You went through several useful ways not just to block access to Safari, but to limit its use as well. But did you know that you can do the same right from your own iPhone or iPad as well? That’s right — thanks to Apple’s integration of Family Sharing along with Screen Time, any family members that you add also appear within the Screen Time panel.
Simply select a family member from under the Family section, and you should find a dedicated Screen Time panel reminiscent to the one present on your device.
![ios safari time limit Ios 12 Screen Time Block Safari 18](https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/IOS-12-Screen-Time-Block-Safari-18_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.png)
From there onward, you can monitor app usage, block Safari, impose time limits and so on. Just like you’d interact with the device directly. The steps are pretty much the same, and any restrictions or time limits apply cumulatively to all devices owned by a family member.
A Much Safer Experience Online
Screen Time is one of the best offerings available on iOS 12. You can not only block Safari easily but also perform a host of other actions that don’t feel so drastic. Combine it with remote management, and the amount of control that you’ve got is just phenomenal. Check our complete iOS 12 Screen Time guide for more information on how each feature works.

iPhone time limit: How to set a time limit for a specific app on iOS 12
Screen Time in iOS 12 offers a lot of different options for reining back how much you, or your kids, use your iPhone and iPad. You can track your activity, and also set time limits for apps and categories of apps to ensure you get some downtime. Here’s how to set an iPhone time limit for a specific app that you just can’t put down.
To use Screen Time and set up iPhone time limits, you need to be running iOS 12 on your device. iOS 12 is available for iPhones as far as back as iPhone 5s, iPads including iPad Air, and the sixth-generation iPod touch. You can go to Settings -> Software Update if you aren’t yet up-to-date.
On an iPhone or iPad running iOS 12, open Settings and tap on Screen Time. The Screen Time page acts as a hub for all different types of time limits, content restrictions and activity overview. You can set an iPhone time limit called Downtime, which restricts usage of your entire device on a daily time schedule.
You can also be more granular and add time limits for specific apps. Unfortunately, if you tap the App Limits button on the screen, Screen Time will ask you to select categories of apps to apply limits to. You can pick categories like Social Networking, Productivity, or Games which encompass many installed apps into a group. It’s not immediately obvious how to set an iPhone time limit for a specific app …
How to set an iPhone time limit for a specific app
![ios safari time limit](https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg)
From the Screen Time homepage, do not tap on the App Limits icon. Instead, tap on the graph at the top of the screen to enter Screen Time. This will show you every app that you have used recently. You can change the bar at the top to see stats for today or the last week.
Scroll this list until you find the app that you want to add a time limit for. (You can press Show More to see more than just a few of the most-used apps.) In this example, I am going to limit the time I spend on my iPhone and iPad watching YouTube.
Tap the app name, in this case ‘YouTube’. It will tell you statistics like the average amount of time spent in this app per day. Tap the ‘Add Limit’ button at the bottom of this screen.
You are now adding a time limit for just this app. Time limits apply to every device on the same iCloud account. If you press the Edit Apps button on this view, you can add more individual apps into the same bucket of time.
Scroll the picker to select a duration, and you can even be more granular and select a different iPhone time limit for every day of the week. When you are done, press Add in the top right hand corner.
The time limit is now enabled for just the specific app you chose.
How does the App Limit work
![ios safari time limit](https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/client-mu-plugins/9to5-core/includes/obfuscate-images/images/9to5mac-default.jpg)
With an iPhone time limit active, the operating system will count in the background how long you are using the app. For apps like YouTube, time is counted when you use the YouTube website in Safari or the YouTube app.
When the limit is reached, the home screen will be greyed out. Attempting to use the app will display a full-screen overlay that says your Time Limit has been reached. You cannot use the app when this panel is visible.
As an individual, you can press the Ignore Limit button if you want to give yourself some extra time — obviously this feature needs some self-restraint. You can disable the time limit for today, or add an extra 15 minutes if you just need to finish something you were doing.
How to set a time limit for my kids
Adding an iPhone app limit for your children is almost the same process as described above. The only difference is on the homepage of Screen Time, scroll down to see the ‘Family’ section. Tap on the child you want to add iPhone app limits for, and then you will see a nearly-identical set of screens with data for your child. You can then set an app limit by following the same steps above.
For a child, when their time is up with an app, they cannot simply press Ignore Limit. Instead, they can request extra time. If requested, an alert pops up on the parent devices asking to allow the additional time. This request can be granted or denied.
Note: All Screen Time features for families require Family Sharing to be set up.

iOS 12: Set Screen Time Limits for Specific Apps
![ios safari time limit iOS 12: Set Screen Time Limits for Specific Apps](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/iphone-limits-locked-1280x720.jpg)
When you first enable Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad, you’re able to choose preset categories of apps to restrict, such as Social Media, Games, Entertainment, and Productivity. But what if you have a group of apps you’d like to restrict that don’t fall neatly into a single category? Or what if you want to limit some apps within one or more categories, but not all of them?
The good news is that you can configure a custom Screen Time limit that includes just the specific apps you choose, regardless of how they’re categorized. Here’s how to set it up.
iOS 12 Screen Time Limits for Specific Apps
- From an iPhone or iPad running iOS 12 , head to Settings and select Screen Time . Note that if screen time was set up on the device for a child by an adult or device administrator, you’ll need the Screen Time passcode to change any settings.
- Select the name of your device from the top of the screen.
- Find the first app you’d like to limit from the list below the Screen Time chart.
- On the app-specific Screen Time page, select Add Limit .
![ios safari time limit](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen-time-limit-individual-apps-1-1.jpg)
- Set the desired time limit for the selected app and any other apps you’d like to add later.
- Select Edit Apps .
- Scroll through the list and tap to add ad ditional apps to your custom Screen Time limit.
- Tap Add to add the selected apps.
- Tap Add again to save the custom limit for your designated apps.
![ios safari time limit](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen-time-limit-individual-apps-2-1.jpg)
You’ll end up with a custom limit list and you can add or remove apps from the list by returning to the limit page in Settings and selecting Edit Apps . Note that the limit is cumulative for all selected apps. In our example screenshots, that means we could use Plex , Audible , Egg Inc. , and Star Trek for a combined total of 3 hours per day before hitting the limit.
![ios safari time limit](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen-time-limit-individual-apps-3-1.jpg)
Set Custom Screen Time Limits With App Exclusions
Another way to approach custom Screen Time limits is to start with a broad brush and then use the Always Allowed setting to set exclusions for certain apps, even if they’re in a category that has a limit.
- Head to Settings > Screen Time and select App Limits .
- Select Add Limit .
- Browse the list of app categories and tap to select each one that you’d like to limit. iOS provides examples of which of your currently installed apps fall under each category.
- Once you’ve selected one or more categories, tap Add .
![ios safari time limit](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen-time-always-allow-4.jpg)
- Set the time limit and, optionally, the days for your app category limit.
- With your Screen Time limit now set up by app categories, head back to the first Screen Time settings page and now select Always Allowed .
![ios safari time limit](https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screen-time-always-allow-5.jpg)
Browse the list of apps and tap on the green plus icon for each one that you want to always allow. You can also tap on the red minus icon to remove apps that have already been added to the Always Allow list. When you’re done, you can close the Settings app and return to the home screen.
By adding an app to the Always Allow list, you’re telling iOS to exclude it from all Screen Time filtering. Your usage time with the app will still be tracked, but it won’t time limited or restricted by Downtime, even if it falls under an app category that is.

iOS 18 Safari — biggest new features for your iPhone
Highlights and a redesigned Reader add some smarts to Safari on your iPhone
![ios safari time limit iOS 18 logo on an iPhone 15 Pro](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VWSSU7vyFQe7m5kCEAAFxS-320-80.jpg)
Safari, Apple's built-in web browser across its different devices, won't get a radical overhaul as part of iOS 18 . But even just two big changes to the iPhone's default browser hint at Apple's larger strategy of leaning into machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Both major additions to Safari in iOS 18 promise to skim web pages and pull out the details you need. The idea, explains Beth Dakin, Apple's senior manager of Safari software engineering, in Apple's WWDC 2024 video is to offer "easier ways to discover content and streamline your browsing."
Even better, while the new Safari features do turn to machine learning, they're not part of the Apple Intelligence capabilities being introduced across Apple devices later this year. That means Safari's improvements will be available on more phones than just the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max , plus whatever iPhone 16 models come out later this fall.
With that in mind, here's what to expect from iOS 18 Safari once you upgrade to the new iPhone software, whether that's when the full version comes out later this year or Apple makes the iOS 18 public beta available in July.
iOS 18 Safari: Highlights
![ios safari time limit Highlights feature in iOS 18 Safari](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TWuT7LZLBZULFEnkBjzaoV-320-80.jpg)
Think of Highlights, the biggest of the two improvements to iOS 18 Safari, as a kind of hyper-focused summary tool. Instead of merely summarizing what's on the page, though, Highlights uses machine intelligence to identify the key bits on information on a particular page and calls them out in a pop-up window as you browse.
An example Apple uses throughout its iOS 18 preview shows a web page for a hotel where Highlights has called up a window showing the hotel's location on a map, plus quick links for driving directions or placing a call to the hotel. Other examples of Highlights include Wikipedia summaries of a person, playback links for songs, or summarized reviews for a movie or TV show.
It's unclear from Apple's demo whether Highlights appear automatically in Safari, or if you need to tap a button to get the Highlights window to pop-up. Footnotes on Apple's iOS 18 summary page indicate that the feature will only work with U.S. English sites, at least initially.

iOS 18 Safari: Reader
![ios safari time limit Reader in iOS 18](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9nDrH2yGoYcGmwdGaZzgKB-320-80.jpg)
The Reader tool in iOS 18 Safari also picks up some summarization skills, giving you the opportunity to read a quick overview of a web page when you switch to Reader mode. Reader takes things a step further by generating a table of contents for a web article that lets you see how a page is organized. Presumably, you'll also be able to jump to specific sections of the article.
Galaxy AI tools on board the best Samsung phones add summarization features, so it's good to see them get baked into iOS 18 as well. A concise summary of a web page that you've stumbled upon can give you a better idea of what an article is about, while a table of contents can help you more easily drill down to the parts of a topic that interest you.
The summarization tools in Reader appear to be limited to English in the initial iOS 18 release, though regional support is far more extensive. Besides the U.S., Apple promises availability in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the U.K.
Other Safari changes beyond the iPhone
![ios safari time limit Safari preview at WWDC 2024](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Pn32juvXzbKLhFAkZyoWTb-320-80.jpg)
Safari is available across Apple's different platforms, and there are some improvements coming to the web browser that are available for Safari on other devices. Specifically, Mac users who upgrade to macOS Sequoia will get a new way of watching web-based videos with a new Video Viewer that automatically detects when there's video on a page. Video Viewer breaks that out into a separate window with its own playback controls; click away, and the viewer becomes a separate picture-in-picture window.
Along with the Highlights and Reader additions, Safari on macOS Sequoia also promises performance improvements. In fact, Apple says the updated Mac version will be the world's fastest browser, with up to four hours more battery life than Google's Chrome browser on streaming video.
iOS 18 Safari outlook
Safari's seen more substantial changes in previous iOS updates, but that's not to dismiss the importance of what Apple's doing in iOS 18. With both Highlights and Reader leaning heavily on machine learning to power their new summary tools, iOS 18 Safari offers a taste of what Apple hopes to deliver throughout the iPhone, only without the stringent system requirements that the Apple Intelligence features demand.

Screen time not working with safari , youtube website.
I am trying to limit the amount of time my daughter spends on YouTube. I don’t want to block it completely because she needs to use it for school sometimes. I have added a limit to the website and deleted the app in an attempt limit her time on there but it doesn’t work. It will let her go on there for an hour Or two a day even though I have set a 15 minute daily limit. I don’t want to put a limit on Safari because she needs that for her school work.

Hello EricFlick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand wanting to make sure Screen Time is working as expected, and I'll be happy to see how I can help out. It sounds like you're having issues with limiting access to a specific website.
When the time limit is reached for YouTube, does she see a prompt to "Ask For More Time," or does nothing seem to happen?
Try tapping Settings > Screen Time > App Limits. Then tap the listing you've created for YouTube. Here, make sure it's entered as youtube.com. Also, is "Block at End of Limit" activated? If not, activate that to see if it helps.
If that doesn't make a difference, try deleting the website limit for youtube.com, and re-create it. Does the same issue occur?
Also, if you set a limit for a different website, how does that work?
I hope that helps. If the issue persists, please reply back with the answers to the above questions, and the iOS version on the device in question.
Have a good one.

- Screen time - Prevent web content Ive set 'Limit Adult Websites" and the safe search is work perfect in safari . If you try to access to google via "in-app browser" from youtube , google maps or gmail - the google safesarch is not working at all and you can search whatever you want and access adult websites without any problem. Is there any solution to this ? Unfortunately the only solution I think exists is to delete these apps. Thanks for the help ! 1932 1
- Child bypasses Screen Time limits on websites by using shortcuts. I have set up Screen Time on my son's MacOS account to limit the time he is able to use certain apps and websites. For example, I do not want him to view YouTube for more than an hour each day. The Screen Time rules work successfully to block access to the apps and websites, but he has found a workaround using the Shortcuts app. By creating a shortcut to open a certain website such as YouTube, he is able to continue accessing the website after the time limit is reached. This seems to be because Shortcuts opens the website in a special stripped-down "Preview" browser window (not the full Safari app) where the time limits do not seem to apply. This is very frustrating since as soon as he reaches the time limit, he can simply launch the shortcut and continue accessing the website. I can find no way to block or delete the Shortcuts app altogether which would presumable prevent him from doing this. Screen Time needs a way to completely block certain apps from launching (not just a time limit). The Shortcuts workaround bug should also be addressed. Any tips on how to resolve this in the mean time would be appreciated! 1297 1
- screen time enhancements Anyone know how I can request enhancements (i.e. feature requests) for screen time? I would like there to be an option to add a custom amount of time vs 15 min/1 hour/all day. Also there are certain apps I want enabled all day except for downtime. For example I block games until after school but I want text messages or discord available in school. However I found out the kids are texting past downtime as it is "always allowed". Is there a way to allow browser but only certain websites in always allowed list? 109 1

Thanks for the reply Jameson.
Nothing happens when she reaches a time limit.
Under the app limit I have entered " https://www.youtube.com/ " "m.youtube.com" and "youtube.com" the block at end of limit is activated.
I have recreated the app limit a few times and nothing really works.
I have limits for other websites that appear to be work.
I just updated to iOS13.5 hoping that that might fix things but youtube still isn't limited.
I should note that I have changed the limit to 1 minute to troubleshoot the issue. The other thing I noticed is that when she is on youtube.com the screen time activity simply shows up as Safari. Other websites show as the spicific website.

Hi EricFlick,
We appreciate the additional information!
By any chance, is Safari set as "Always Allowed?" You can check by tapping Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed. If it is, try removing and test to see if that makes a difference.
Also, you might test further by tapping Settings > Screen Time > Change Screen Time Passcode, and then setting a new one. Do you find the same behavior occurs after changing the passcode?
Best wishes.

The workaround is pretty simple in iOS 13, Go to Setting-> Screen Time -> App Limit -> Edit List -> deselect the current selection and instead, pick the app that you want to be limited individually. For example, Facebook.com will be blocked in the Safari if the "All Social Networking" category is ticked.
I have screen time limitations set on my son's iPad. Under 'App Limit', I have limited 'entertainment' for 6 hours a day. As the YouTube App comes under entertainment, however, my son jumps on safari and brings up YouTube and watches it on safari.
iOS and iPadOS can automatically filter website content to limit access to adult content in Safari and other apps on your device. You can also add specific websites to an approved or blocked list, or you can limit access to only approved websites. Go to Settings, then tap Screen Time.
You can set a time limit for a category of apps (for example, Games or Social Networking) and for individual apps. Go to Settings > Screen Time. Tap App Limits, then tap Add Limit. Select one or more app categories. To set limits for individual apps, tap the category name to see all the apps in that category, then select the apps you want to limit.
Safari is set to 'Always Allowed' by default, however all websites are restricted during Down Time. As a workaround, you could manually add websites under 'Prevent web content', as shown here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
In the Screen Time section, scroll down and tap on "App Limits". Now, tap on "Add Limit" as shown in the screenshot below. Here, scroll to the very bottom and tap on the "Websites" category to expand it. Now, you'll be able to view a bunch of websites that were accessed from the iOS device using Safari.
It sounds like you want to set Safari as an always allowed app for use during Downtime. Safari is not an option to be always allowed in Screen Time. There would not be a way to set downtime for everything except Safari. Learn more about using Screen Time here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Open the Settings app, then tap Screen Time. To see your Screen Time report, tap See All App & Website Activity.
