Web Filtering

Your organization can use Web Filtering to protect you from browsing sites with malicious, undesirable or illegal content.

If your organization manages your device, it can specify types of websites you should be warned about before opening them or block websites. This protects you from browsing sites with malicious, undesirable or illegal content.

Web Filtering blocks a website when you open it in Safari or another web browser and also when an app connects to it.

On the dashboard, Web Filtering is available under Network security.

Allow list

You can suppress the warning for certain malicious or categorized pages permanently. This is useful if one of the pages you visit frequently falls into a category that triggers a warning. Swipe down the Web request blocked notification and tap Add to allow list.

Under Allow list the number of allowed pages is displayed. Tap the counter to display all pages.

Entries you have added and those predefined by your organization are displayed in separate sections.

To filter a page again, swipe left the entry to delete it. You can only do this for entries that you have added yourself.

Block list

You can add web pages for which a warning is raised to a block list so that they are always blocked. Swipe down the Web request blocked notification and tap Add to block list.

Under Block list the number of blocked pages is displayed. Tap the counter to display the entries for all pages.

Entries you have added and those predefined by your organization are displayed in separate sections.

To raise a warning again, swipe left the entry to delete it. You can only do this for entries that you have added yourself.
