How to Block a Website on Android Phone
On an Android device, you’ll need to edit the hosts file so that the device can redirect to the website you’ve blocked. You will need a file manager and text editor. The only suggestion we would suggest is to use the ES File Explorer app, which lets you do both. This is how it works.
1. Install ES File Explorer, then open it. Tap on the “/” button at the top. Then tap on System > etc.
2. In this folder you will be able to see the hosts file. Tap on it, and then tap Text in the pop-up menu. In the next pop-up tap on ES Note Editor.
3. Tap the three dots button in the top right, then tap Edit.
4.Now you can edit this file. To block the website you want to redirect its DNS. To do this, you start a new line at the end of the file. Here type “127.0.0.1 www.blockedwebsite.com” (don’t use quotes, blocked website is the name of the site you want to block). Type the name of each website on a new line. For example, to block Google, type 127.0.0.1 www.google.com.
5. Reboot your Android device.
If this method is a bit complicated for you, then you can download an anti-virus app like Trend Micro, which allows you to block websites.
1. Install the app and then run it. Go to Options > Safe surfing Options.
2.Then go to Parental Controls and click on Set up Account. Create an account, after that you will be able to see an option named Blocked List in the app. Tap on it, then on Add. Now, one by one, enter the names of the websites that you want to block. After this you will not be able to access these websites from your Android smartphone.
