How to block adult content on Prime Video.

Written October 2026 from Prime Video’s own help pages. Menus change often.

Prime Video is not a porn site. It is a library of films and series, a shelf of add-on channels, and a home page that plays trailers. Nudity and sex scenes are in all of it, and the pull is the same one as everywhere else on this list: the next thing is already starting.

This page does two things. First, what Bramble does about it. Then every control Amazon gives an adult: what each one changes, what it does not, and why a PIN alone does not hold.

What Bramble does about Prime Video

Bramble is a free adult content blocker for iPhone. It works on the phone you are holding, which is where Prime Video is easiest to open at one in the morning.

• Apps you name stay shut. Name Prime Video in the app shield, and the shield holds it.
• Someone else can hold the key. With Keyholder mode, a person you trust keeps your Screen Time passcode, so a limit you set at noon cannot be undone at one in the morning.

What Bramble cannot do is reach your TV. It is an iPhone app, and a TV is another screen. For the TV, the settings below are what you have, and the last section is how to make them hold.

It is free, forever, and no one gets a list of what you looked at — not your witnesses, not your Keyholder, not us. The blocking page has the full account.

The rest of this page is Prime Video’s own settings. They work without Bramble, and they are worth doing. Where one can be undone from the same screen it was set on, the page says so.

If you are setting this up for a child rather than for yourself, Prime Video’s Kids profiles are built for that. This page is written for an adult doing it for himself.

Where to start. Amazon’s own pages disagree about some labels. Some say Permissions, some say Parental Controls. If you do not see one, look for the other. On the web the settings are under Account & Settings.

Create a PIN

1. On iPhone, tap the Profile icon at the top, then the Settings icon, then Permissions, then Prime Video PIN.
2. Enter your Amazon password, choose a PIN, and tap Save.
3. On the web, go to Your Profiles, then Edit profile, and pick your own profile. Next to Account PIN and locks tap Manage, then Create next to Prime Video Account PIN.

Setting a PIN does not turn anything on. The next two sections do that.

Set a viewing restriction

1. On iPhone, tap the Profile icon, the Settings icon, Permissions, then Viewing Restrictions.
2. Choose an age restriction and the devices it applies to, then tap Save.
3. On the web, go to Account & Settings, then Permissions, and do the same.

The levels are Kids (All), Older Kids (7+), Teens (13+), Young Adults (16+) and Adults (18+). Choose Teens (13+). In the US that puts everything rated R, TV-MA or NC-17, and anything unrated, behind the PIN. Young Adults (16+) has no US rating of its own, so it adds nothing.

The restriction covers the devices you picked, so set it on your phone, your TV and anything else you watch on.

Lock purchases and channels

With purchase restrictions on, Prime Video asks for the Account PIN to buy, rent or create a subscription, and that includes adding a channel. In the same Permissions area, turn on Purchase Restrictions. On some versions it sits under Parental Controls.

Lock your profile, and stop new ones

1. On the web, go to Edit profile, pick your profile, and tap Manage next to Profile / Account PIN and locks.
2. Turn on Profile lock and tap Save.
3. On the same page, turn on the Creation and removal lock. It stops a new profile being made to get around a restriction.

Amazon says the account holder can override every profile PIN with the Account PIN.

Autoplay

Amazon does not document an autoplay setting on its Prime Video help pages, and what other sites report differs by device, so there are no steps here that we cannot stand behind. If you find the switch on your screen, turn it off.

The one that holds

Amazon’s own help page for a forgotten PIN asks only for your Amazon password. So a PIN a friend chose does not stop a man who knows his own password. And setting a PIN asks for that password in the first place.

The lock is whoever holds the Amazon password and the codes sent to the account. That is a lot to hand over, because the same password opens your orders and your payment methods. So on Prime Video the strongest option is the one on the phone.

On your phone. A limit set in your iPhone’s own Screen Time belongs to the phone, and it can be put behind a passcode you do not know.

1. Open the iPhone’s Settings, then Screen Time. If it is off, turn it on.
2. Tap App Limits, then Add Limit.
3. Find Prime Video in the list and tick it. The list has a search box at the top. Then, at the bottom of the list under Websites, tap Add Website and add primevideo.com. Without that, a limit on the app does not cover it in Safari.
4. Tap Next, set the time, and turn on Block at End of Limit.
5. Back on the Screen Time page, tap Lock Screen Time Settings and set a passcode that someone you trust chooses and keeps. Without it, you can extend your own limit with one tap.

That last step is what Bramble’s Keyholder mode is for. The keyholder walk-through takes the person you ask through setting it on your phone, one screen at a time.

On a Fire TV. A Fire TV has its own Parental Controls, under Settings, then Preferences, then Parental Controls, with a PIN before restricted categories, purchases and apps. It is a separate PIN from Prime Video’s.

If it is still there afterward

Settings change what the screen offers. They do not change what you are reaching for. When a man has cleaned up his settings and still goes looking, it is usually because something else is being eased, and porn is only the fastest thing he found for it. That is not a verdict on you.

The ten questions are one honest place to look at it. Why can’t I stop watching porn is the longer version.
