How do i block adult content on bing app?

DerrickH_992 · Jan 23, 2025

I have an xbox x and have all the parental settings setup including microsoft edge restricted access. But there is the bing app in which you cannot actually block which makes 0 sense. Im able to block the edge app but not bing app? I have family organizer and child setup also in the microsoft account family setting but unfortunately you can still go to bing and there is still unwanted adult content. How do i block all adult content on my child account?

:)

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.

Unfortunately nope, right now there is no way to block specific apps with your Xbox PIN

You can try the xbox mobile app, but i would check your settings first and nothing is blocked and it allows adult. I do know that its been backed up due to a surge of requests.. if your account does allow adult content etc and your still having the issue
of changing your profile picture i would have patience and keep trying every once in awhile.

First of all: Make sure that your kids do have their own child account, and that they are NOT using your adult account (as this can't be restricted). Then follow the instructions here to set limits for purchasing content https://support.microsoft.com/help/4047310/microsoft-account-require-kids-to-ask-before-buying-stuff

If free content can't be blocked this way, or if a kid already downloaded an app you don't want them to use, you can use these instructions to block certain apps in the Activity section of the family section for that child account: https://support.microsoft.com/help/4026341/microsoft-account-block-inappropriate-apps-games-media

Open DNS does not do any filtering, which is a good thing. So no, nothing will be blocked.

This isn't exactly true.

If you sign-up for an account and add your networks IP to it, you can set-up content filtering. They also have an app for dynamic IP addresses.

If they are trying to block adult sites, I suspect this is what they have done and may need to check their settings are not too strict.
