Guides

Parental controls for streaming, social, and search apps

LockedWeb blocks adult websites on every device you protect, in every app and browser. It does not filter inside Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, TikTok, or the other apps you choose to keep. These guides show you how to use each one’s own parental controls, and how to check that they took.

  2. 2Set up each service you keep, one guide at a time.
