Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can ‘Whitelist’ the websites that you want the users to access. Thus, the users will be blocked from accessing the other websites.
Please follow the below steps for the same:

  1. Go to the Policies tab. You can create a new policy or choose to edit an already existing one.
  2. Navigate to iOS->Security-> Web Content Filtering. Click ‘Configure’.
  3. Enable the ‘Whitelist’ option and add the desired website URLs to be whitelisted.
  4. Associate targets and save the policy.

Please note that this is possible only in the case of Supervised iOS devices.

Kindly use the help link to know more about ‘Web Content Filtering’ in iOS devices.

Cheers!

Is it possible to automatically block inappropriate content?

Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

Yes, it is. Please navigate to Policies-> iOS -> Security-> Web Content Filtering. Enable the option ‘Restrict inappropriate Content’ under Blacklist by Content. This will automatically block inappropriate content.
On enabling the option, a text box will appear below it. If you wish to exclude any URLs from the automatic filtering, they can be added here.

Cheers!
