    Blocking Microsoft Bing App


    I recently found that Microsoft Edge can be blocked on Xbox through use of the 6 button passcode. I do not want to have access to an internet browser on my console so I have set a random code for edge to prevent its use, since it can’t be removed otherwise. However, I see no such options for the Microsoft Bing Browser app.

    Does anybody know of any way to prevent installation and use of the Microsoft Bing app that doesn’t involve creating or setting up a child/family account?

    :)

    How do i block adult content on bing app?

    Hello DerrickH_992,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

    To block adult content on the Bing app, you can follow these steps:



    1. Open the Microsoft Family Safety app on your device.

    2. Select your child's profile.

    3. Under "Content restrictions," select "Web browsing."

    4. Turn on "Block inappropriate websites."

    5. Scroll down and select "Always block" under "Search engines."

    6. Select "Bing" from the list of search engines.

    7. Turn on "Block explicit images, videos, and websites from search results."



    These steps should help you block adult content on the Bing app and ensure that your child's account is safe from unwanted content.

    Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns. I will be waiting for you and I would be more than glad to assist you further.

    Go for another web browser/engine (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.) or make sure you're not blocking any pop-ups from the Microsoft website.

    I mean bing search engine is linked to microsoft so that always helps if you’re searching with bing. I guess it would be kinda cool though to have a separate app
