iPhone Internet Filtering
I am in San Francisco today announcing the latest in our Safe Eyes product line, Safe Eyes Mobile for iPhone.
Safe Eyes Mobile will provide a safe browsing experience for the iPhone and iPod touch platform. While the iPhone does have some built-in parental controls, these simply turn Safari on or off. This has the effect of limiting web access completely which is one of the stand out features of the iPhone. Additionally AT&T’s network based parental controls aren’t compatible with the iPhone. Safe Eyes mobile provides a middle ground of allowing web access, but filtering it based on content.
Safe Eyes mobile can also protect the iPhone or iPod touch whether it is on the Edge, 3G or a wi-fi network. Protection on a wi-fi network is one area where a handset based solution like Safe Eyes excels over the network based parental control product deployed by many carriers today. I feel that the trend of wi-fi enabled phones will only continue to grow.
To learn more about Internet filtering for iPhone visit our site. We also put together a brief demo of Safe Eyes Mobile for iPhone on YouTube.
The application will be available from the iTunes App Store once Apple has completed thier review. I will post and update when it becomes available.

I was waiting for internet safety to release safe eyes for the iphone, and the macworld brings it to us! There’s not much information about the app, only de PR note, but from the video I can see that you don’t use safari but surf the internet through your app. What I don’t understand is that the safari icon is still there, so you could choose not to use safe eyes mobile and surf with safari because it’s still active. Or does safe eyes mobile prevent the user from using safari?
Thank you for releasing this app!
You can restrict access to Safari with the built-in parental controls on the iPhone. The phone I was using to film the demo was not setup that way, so Safari was still available.
We provide the instructions to disable Safari when you install Safe Eyes Mobile.
Thank you for the fast answer!
When can we buy this for our kids?
We need it desperately now.
It is now available. See: http://www.safeeyes.com/iphone/
I am a safe eyes user, but I have a problem with my iPhone.
I’ve disabled safari and the app store on my iPhone,
but when I scroll left from the home screen to the iPhone search engine and type in “safari,” safari still shows up in the search results, as does “app store.”
Any suggestions?
