Part 1. How to block porn on Google Search

Google Search, or simply Google, is available as website and mobile app. There is more than one method to block porn on Google. Let’s talk about them.

Applies to: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android

Google provides a built-in solution to help users limit access to porn on its search engine. It’s called SafeSearch. Once it’s enabled, the content and websites that Google considers to be sexually explicit will be excluded from search results.

At the website level

Step 1. Open your browser. Go to the Google SafeSearch settings page.

Step 2. Select Filter to block explicit results.

Now let's verify it. Try to use Google to search words like porn or Pornhub and click Google Search. You can hardly find any adult websites in the search results.

Tip

To turn off SafeSearch, just unselect the Filter box and select Off. There is also an option for you to lock it. To enable the locking, you need to login to Google, which is also required for unlocking. Click Lock SafeSearch. The locking and SafeSearch will continue to work even if you logout of Google. Parents may find this useful. However, one can easily bypass this whole SafeSearch thing by opening an incognito window in browser.

At the app level

How to block porn on Google with SafeSearch in the Google app on an iPhone or Android phone? Check out the following steps.

Step 1. Open the Google app on your iPhone or Android phone.
