Screen Time

I’m currently on IOS 16 and have App Limits enabled on my Iphone to prevent addiction, however the Google app for some reason will not be locked under screentime. Is there any way to fix this?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hi,


Google isn't blocked because of the settings you have set for Screen Time. You can change what apps you block in the Screen Time settings.


Here's an Apple Support article with more information of how to do this: Set up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone - Apple Support


Hope this is helpful and that you have a wonderful rest of your day!

If you are addicted to sites, then set this up, as if it is a child's iPhone. Allow certain things to be accesses. Go Here: Use Parental Controls on your Child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
