Why is private browsing disabled in Safari?

Blocking websites can lead to private browsing being disabled by Apple settings

Updated over a month ago

When you block websites or safari using Roots, it can lead to private browsing being disabled. This is due to a limitation with the Apple Screen Time API.

Without private browsing disabled, your website limits may not work, so Apple may disable it by default.

Unfortunately there is not a good workaround for this. If you just use private browsing, we recommend removing websites and safari from your Roots blocking.
