Hi @56yy,

Thanks for clarifying.

If you’re looking to block adult or explicit content through iD Mobile, you can manage this directly within the iD Mobile app:

Open the iD Mobile app and log in.
Select Plan.
Scroll down to Features.
Find Adult Content and switch the restriction ON.
Save your changes.

Once the restriction is enabled, adult-rated content should be blocked when using your iD Mobile data connection.

Please note that this applies to content accessed using the iD Mobile network. If you’re connected to Wi-Fi, the restrictions set by your Wi-Fi provider/router or device will apply instead.

Regards,
