Como bloquear o conteúdo adulto no smartphone
A pornografia é material impresso ou visual que contém uma descrição explícita ou demonstração de órgãos genitais ou atividades sexuais; esses materiais destinam-se a estimular sentimentos ou emoções eróticos, e não estéticos.
O problema é que a pornografia é onipresente na Internet, por isso é extremamente difícil ficar completamente livre dela. No entanto, a maioria dos pais deseja saber quais medidas podem ser tomadas para impedir que seus filhos vejam conteúdo adulto ao usar dispositivos digitais.

Pesquisa segura do Google
Defina o Google como seu mecanismo de pesquisa padrão.
Verifique todos os navegadores que seus filhos usam (Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc.) e verifique se o Google é usado como o mecanismo de pesquisa padrão neles. No iPhone, vá para as configurações do seu telefone, role para baixo e clique no Safari e selecione Google na seção "Mecanismo de pesquisa".
Ativar o SafeSearch
Em dispositivos móveis, abra o aplicativo do Google (faça o download, se necessário). Toque no ícone de roda dentada, role para baixo e clique no botão Configurações de pesquisa e clique em "Filtrar resultados explícitos" na seção Filtros de pesquisa segura. Em desktops e laptops, acesse www.google.com e clique no botão "Configurações" no canto inferior direito; Clique em "Configurações de pesquisa", clique em "Ativar o SafeSearch" e, em seguida, em "Bloquear o SafeSearch".
Verifique todos os dispositivos periodicamente
Siga os primeiro e segundo passos para todos os dispositivos que seus filhos usam. Verifique regularmente a seção de configurações e aplicativos do Google para garantir que o SafeSearch não esteja desativado.
Nota importante
O uso do Google SafeSearch é gratuito, mas não isento de erros. O SafeSearch filtra apenas os resultados da pesquisa - não bloqueia o acesso a sites pornográficos se o URL for inserido diretamente no navegador.
Bloqueando conteúdo adulto usando serviços DNS seguros
Como funciona o sistema de nomes de domínio (DNS)
O DNS pode ser comparado a uma lista telefônica digital da Internet. As pessoas acessam sites digitando o nome de domínio do site na barra de endereços do navegador, por exemplo "example.com" (também chamado de "nome do host"), enquanto os computadores usam endereços IP (vários números) para comunicação, por exemplo 127.0.0.1. O DNS converte nomes de domínio em endereços IP, para que seu computador possa ir para esse endereço e solicitar as informações. Os servidores DNS estão localizados em todo o mundo e hospedam bancos de dados de endereços IP públicos e nomes de host associados a eles.
How DNS Blocking Works
From this information, it is clear that you can use DNS servers to categorize and filter IP addresses to restrict access to certain categories of sites. It means that if you instruct a device to use a specific DNS server, the database of which does not contain addresses of certain sites, it will be impossible to access these sites from that particular device.
How to block access to pornographic content using DNS
Any device uses DNS to connect to the Internet. Names of the settings responsible for DNS may differ, depending on the device, version of the operating system, language, etc. Therefore, you may not find on your device items that exactly match the example below. However, don't be upset: all you need to do is open the device's Settings and look for Network Settings or Wi-Fi Settings, which should contain items that allow you to change DNS servers (also called NameServers) to the IP address, provided by the secure DNS service.
Let's look at an example, where the free CleanBrowsing service is used:
For Mac and Linux computers: go to Settings-> Network-> Wi-fi-> Advanced and change the DNS servers to IP address 185.228.168.168
For ChromeBook: go to Settings-> Network-> Wifi and configure custom NameServers, stating the following IP addresses there: 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.169.168
For Windows 10: click Start -> Settings -> Network & Internet -> Ethernet or Wi-Fi (depending on your connection) -> select the network connection-> under the "IP settings" section, click the Edit button, from the drop-down menu select Manual option, turn on the IPv4 toggle switch and type 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.169.168 into the "Preferred DNS" and "Alternate DNS" fields.
For iPhone, Android, and iPad: go to Settings -> Wi-Fi Settings and configure Name Server by specifying the IP address 185.228.168.168 in it.
For your home router and complete home protection: Log in to your router, find "Settings" or "DNS Settings" and change the Nameserver, specifying the IP address 185.228.168.168 in it.
If possible, configure DNS on your home router, so that all devices in your home will be protected. This applies to Internet-connected TVs, game consoles (xBox, Playstation, Nintendo Wii), computers or mobile devices.

How to block porn content on iOS devices
Use the Screen Time app on iPhone and iPad
First you should decide how exactly you want to use the blocking feature: you can set restrictions directly on your child's device by applying password protection, or you can control the device remotely using "Family Sharing" function.
How to block access to insecure content on an iOS device
Open settings on your child's device. Scroll down and tap "Screen time." Select "Content & Privacy Restrictions" and enable this feature. Review all the settings and determine what you want to allow and what to restrict. To block access to porn, go to "Content Restrictions" section and disable all explicit content for everything, including web content.
Protecting the settings with a password.
In "Settings/Screen Time" menu, click "Use Screen Time Passcode". Enter a four-digit code that your child does not know and which he cannot guess.

Open "Settings", click on the name of your account, scroll down and click on "Family Sharing". Follow the instructions to add a new family member. After all the items are configured, you will be able to control all the functions of "Screen Time" on this d iOS device, including all restrictions on content and privacy, from your phone.
How to block porn content on Android
Use Google Family Link app
Make sure your device is compatible with Family Link. (https://families.google.com/familylink/device-compatibility/).
Do download the Family Link app to your Android device from Google Play Store. Do the same on the Android device, from which you want to control your child's device. Next, follow the instructions to configure the application on both devices. After that, you can change your child's Android device settings remotely.
Attention! The Google Family Link application itself does not block anything, but it allows you to control the child's device from your device. For example, you can set up a secure Google search, blocking unwanted content via DNS or using specialized software with parental controls.
Use special applications for parental control
For Android operating system, there is a large number of applications with parental control functions, so you can choose the one, which meets your needs. We recommend that you take a look at Hoverwatch - here is a detailed review of Hoverwatch app.
