Screen Time on Kids Devices

I am no longer able to adjust parental restrictions and view screen time usage for my kids' devices from my iPhone. This is something that used to work, but no longer does. What can I do to restore this functionality?

Hello Available_Username,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand there are issues being able to adjust restrictions remotely. I'll do what I can to help.

I'm having a similar issue still. I have 3 kids, each having their own iPhone XR. We are set up on Family Sharing, and I'm the organizer. I was able to manage each of their Screentimes from my iPhone 7 until earlier this week. One of my kids figured out the password (Grrr!!). Ever since then, I've been unable to control his Screentime from my phone. I've changed the password on his phone directly, but it isn't sync'd with my phone. Do i need to do something different to "re sync"? The other issue is that he cannot "Send Request" for app installation or more screentime to me. It now seems like it can only be controlled on his own directly. My other two kids' phones are fine.
