Can I block Adult Content?


Did you know you can block adult content using Opal? Here's how:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on the "Block" tab
  • Tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner
  • Create a new Session, selecting "Block Now" or "Recurring Session"
  • Tap on "Apps Selected"
  • Choose an existing Block List or tap "Switch" to create "New Block List"
  • At the bottom of the screen, toggle on "Adult Blocking"
  • Click "Save"
  • Click "Save" on the Session

That's it!

Please note, if Adult Blocking is toggled on, private browsing mode on your browser will be disabled. Additionally, if you do not see the toggle to block adult content, it could be that you are using the Allow List feature to block all apps besides those that you whitelist. In this case, all adult content will be automatically blocked.

That's it! If you have any issues with your Adult Blocking, let us know!
