Can I block Adult Content?

Did you know you can block adult content on your iPhone or iPad with Opal? Here's how:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on the "Blocks" tab
  • Tap on the icon to create a Session, selecting "Block Now" or "Create Schedule"
  • Tap on "Apps Blocked"
  • Tap "Edit" or "Switch" to choose which apps/websites to Block, or change your existing Block List
  • At the bottom of the module, toggle on "Adult Blocking"
  • Click "Save"
If "Adult Blocking" is toggled on, private browsing mode on your browser will be disabled. Additionally, if you do not see the toggle to block adult content, it could be that you are using the Allow List feature to block all apps besides those that you whitelist. In this case, all adult content will be automatically blocked.

How do I block Adult Content on the Mac app?

If you'd like to block Adult Content on the Mac App, please open the Mac app, then create any Session type. In the "Apps Blocked" selection screen, click "Adult," then click "Save." Once the Session, Time Limit, or Open Limit begins, Adult Content will be blocked.

That's it! If you have any issues with your Adult Blocking, let us know!
