How to block TikTok and Instagram on iPhone, including Safari

Block the Instagram app and the first thing your thumb does is open Safari and type instagram.com. To actually stay off, you need to block both the app and the website.

With Apple's Screen Time (free)

1. Settings, then Screen Time, then Content & Privacy Restrictions.
2. App Store, Media, Web & Games, then Web Content, then Limit Adult Websites.
3. Under Never Allow, add tiktok.com and instagram.com.

The catch: anyone who knows your Screen Time passcode can undo it, and that's usually you.

With Brainrot

1. Install Brainrot: Partner App Blocker.
2. Tap Pick your poison and choose the apps. Pick their websites too, or block the whole Social category, which covers its websites in Safari.
3. Choose someone you trust. They pick the 4-digit code in their browser. You never see it.

Now tiktok.com and instagram.com hit the same wall as the apps, and the only way back in is asking your partner.
