On iOS 27, if you want to delete a URL from Screen Time under Always Allowed or Never Allow, it’s quite simple.

Just firmly press and hold the URL you want to remove, then drag it toward the left. A red Delete button will appear on the right side. Tap Delete, and the URL will be removed from the list.


The accompanying picture below is self-explanatory and shows exactly how to do it.

Sorry, but there was a thread on this the other day and after confirming with Apple Support, in iOS 27, you can evidently block or unblock websites, but not remove them.


If you're not happy with this, since this is a user to user only forum and Apple isn't here, feel free to provide feedback to Apple using this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Hi, what do you mean by resetting your phone and are you sure that will fix the problem? I powered off my phone and turned it back on which didn't work, not sure if this is what I am supposed to do. I would like to be able to remove websites from both the allowed and blocked lists, but it seems like that isn't possible with iOS 27. Thoughts?

If removing reference to these sites is that important, resetting the phone means wiping it back to factory and not restoring it from backup, but bring things back from iCloud Sync, like photos, messages, and download the apps back from the app store etc. Seems like a LOT of work to make sure some websites are removed from the list of websites. Do you let other people use your phone who would have a reason to look at where you've visited? No one but you should use your iPhone.

Hi man. So you cant. However the solution u have is to reset your phone.


that should reset it.

The screenshots shared are not the same as the screens I see from #5 onward as you can see there is no ‘Web Content’ after selecting ‘content & privacy restrictions.


there is the Apps & Websites option on Screen Time, but this only allows or blocks a site you cannot delete it


how do you suggest proceeding
