With Opal’s Never Allowed feature on iOS, you may choose to block Adult Websites in two different ways - permanently or on a limited basis. To implement the permanent block on Adult Websites, take these steps:
- Open the Opal app
- Tap on the "My Apps" tab
- Tap on “Never Allowed”
- Enter your iPhone Passcode
- Ensure “Adult Websites” are toggled on
- Tap on “+ Add App or Website” or “+” to add any Adult apps you’d like to block
Once that's complete, Adult Websites and apps will be permanently blocked, and this will supersede any Schedule, Time Limit, Open Limit, and your Always Allowed list.
I would like to block Adult Websites only during specific times on iOS!
To block Adult Websites during specific periods of the day or to limit your usage throughout the day, you may add any Adult Website or app to a Schedule, Time Limit, or Open Limit. Alternatively, you may set up an Adult Website blocking Schedule using the “Allow Only” function. If you opt to do this, only the apps or websites you select will be available during your Rule, and everything else will be blocked. To do so, follow these steps:
- Open the Opal app
- Tap on the "My Apps" tab
- Tap on “+New”
- Tap on “Schedule”
- Tap on “Selected Apps”
- Tap on “Allow Only”
- Select which apps you must access while your Schedule is live
- Tap on the checkmark icon in the top right corner
- Complete your Schedule setup
- Tap and “Hold to Commit”
Your new Rule is now live!
