How to Block Facebook on an iPhone

It's not unusual for people to want to take a break from social media sites like Facebook. Whether you want to take a personal break from the platform or you're a parent trying to ensure your child isn't spending too much time on it, blocking Facebook on an iPhone can be a great way to limit access to the site. Here are some easy steps to help you get started.

Step 1: Open Settings
The first step to blocking Facebook on an iPhone is to open the Settings app. This can easily be done by swiping up from the bottom of your iPhone’s home screen and tapping on the Settings icon.

Step 2: Choose General
Once you open the Settings app, you'll need to choose General. This can be done by tapping on the gear icon at the top of the Settings app.

Step 3: Select Restrictions
Next, you'll need to select the Restrictions option. This can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of the General page.

Step 4: Enable Restrictions
Once you've selected the Restrictions option, you'll need to enable it. To do this, you'll need to tap on the slider at the top of the page. This will enable the Restrictions feature on your iPhone.

Step 5: Enter a Restrictions Passcode
After you've enabled Restrictions, you'll need to enter a passcode. This passcode will protect your Restrictions settings and help ensure that no one can change them without your permission.

Step 6: Select Apps
Once you've entered your passcode, you'll need to select the Apps option. This can be done by scrolling down to the bottom of the Restrictions page and tapping on the Apps option.

Step 7: Find Facebook and Select Don't Allow
Once you've selected the Apps option, you'll need to scroll through the list of apps until you find Facebook. Once you've found it, you'll need to select the Don't Allow option. This will block the Facebook app from being used on your iPhone.

Step 8: Check Other Social Media Apps
It's also important to check for other social media apps that may be installed on your iPhone. To do this, you'll need to go back to the Apps page in the Restrictions menu and ensure that all other social media apps are set to Don't Allow.

Step 9: Exit Settings
Once you've finished setting your Restrictions, you'll need to exit the Settings app. This can be done by pressing the Home button at the bottom of your iPhone's screen.

Blocking Facebook on an iPhone can be a great way to take a break from the platform or limit your child's access. By following these easy steps, you'll be able to quickly and easily block the app on your device.
