- What it is
- Apple's parental controls guide for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27 and visionOS 27. It describes the Screen Time section Apps & Websites, where approved and blocked apps and websites are listed.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Apple documentation for the current release. It is written for a child's device, so it describes parent-managed Screen Time, not every menu on an adult's own iPhone. Menu names change between iOS versions, so check the page for your version.
Facts taken from this source
- On Apple's iOS 27 parental controls page, every app and website a parent approves or blocks is organized into Allowed and Blocked lists within the Apps & Websites section of Screen Time.
