Create a web content filter profile on
iOS
 devices

You can use web content filter profiles to limit the websites that a user can view in
Safari
 or other browser apps on a supervised
iOS
 or
iPadOS
 device. You can assign web content filter profiles to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. When you create a web content filter profile, each URL that you specify must begin with http:// or https://. If necessary, you should add separate entries for http:// and https:// versions of the same URL. DNS resolution does not occur, so restricted websites could still be accessible (for example, if you specify http://www.example.com, users might be able to access the website using the IP address).
When you create a web content filter profile, you can choose the allowed websites option that supports your organization's standards for the use of mobile devices.
Allowed websites
Description
Specific websites only
This option allows access to only the websites that you specify. A bookmark is created in
Safari
 for each allowed website.
If you allow access only to specific websites, you must ensure that all websites that the device needs to access are specified in the list of allowed websites. For example, if you configure Microsoft Office 365 modern authentication for BlackBerry Dynamics apps, the device must be able to reach the
Active Directory
 Federation Services website.
Limit adult content
This option enables automatic filtering to identify and block inappropriate content. You can also include specific websites using the following settings:
  • Permitted URLs: You can add one or more URLs to allow access to specific websites. Users can view websites in this list regardless of whether automatic filtering blocks access.
  • Blacklisted URLs: You can add one or more URLs to deny access to specific websites. Users cannot view websites in this list regardless of whether automatic filtering allows access.
