# Blocking URLs using ScreenCoach on iOS


|| Blocking URLs using ScreenCoach.

You can block/allow certain urls browsed through Safari.

Here's a breakdown of how to achieve this:


| What you can block:

* ScreenCoach can partially block URLs accessed through Safari.

| How it works:

* Websites browsed through Safari are recorded in ScreenCoach using iOS's ScreenTime API.  
* Due to privacy restrictions, not all URLs are captured.

| What you can do with recorded URLs:

* You can add them to either an "Always Allowed" list or an App Category (which can be blocked/allowed under a specific mode)

| Steps to block URLs:

1. On your Parent Device > Open ScreenCoach
2. Go to "Settings" from the tab bar at the bottom.  
3. Choose "Modes".  
4. Select the mode where you want to add a website to allow / block
5. Go to Apps tab and choose the OS
6. A list of apps will appear.  
7. Search for the website using keywords. If found, select it.  
8. Tap "Done" to add the website to the Mode


|| Alternative Method:

* You can also manually scroll and search through the app list to see if the website is recorded.

|| Please note:

1. Adding an app or website to always allowed category, will make the website/app available anytime without any restrictions.
2. To block a website/app or to allow a website/app in a particular mode, add it to the corresponding Allow/Block section inside the mode.
