Tumblr age restriction? (Mobile help)

So a lot of porn blogs I used to frequent are blocked by an age restriction now. You have to log in and certify your age to view them. Okay, no problem there, I have an account to log in with....

But it never works. It never stays logged in. I've tried with Google, and the Tumblr app itself.

Does anyone know of a solution around this on mobile? Is there any way to shut "safe mode" off?

EDIT:

Thanks for the help everyone. Ended up downloading the app again and making a new account. What frustrates me is that I cannot search specific blogs by URL or title... but I've found some of what I'm looking for.

You can't switch safe mode off, you have to be logged in.

This has put a damper in my porn watching abilities. It's really causing my jo sessions to last much longer than they normally would because I have to have the right video. If anyone has a fix plz send help

Ye tbh that happened to me today, I just have to get to the few that do open up and then open the app through the page - after that I can start clicking linked accounts.

are you deleting your history? that causes you to be logged out of everything i think

If you are following a direct link to content (i.e. a single picture or video, not the entire blog itself) just add /embed at the end of the link.

I haven't found any tweaks to see full blogs. I had to make a throwaway account with a temporary email and I have to sign in once every day.

I had to download their app because of this. :/

They changed how to toggle safe mode in one of their recent updates. I have an iPhone so I only know how to do it for iOS. I assume there's a way to achieve this on Android as well, I just don't know how exactly.

  1. Go to your settings
  2. Scroll down until you see the Tumblr app
  3. At the bottom of the page, you'll see "Safe Mode".
  4. Toggle that so it's set to "Don't hide anything".
  5. Restart your app and you should be good to go!

I know on desktop you can add "/embed" after the link to view a video
