However, the “Block Specific Websites” will block certain websites on your iPhone.

Follow the guide below to block or unblock certain webpages from being accessed.  The first thing is that you will have to enable restrictions on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, Here’s a guide to enable restriction.
