Why are my child's app limits on Screen Time not working?

I’ve set limits for my child’s apps on her phone on Screen Time but they are not working. Any recommendations?

Hey there,

Make sure that you set up a screen time pin and enabled the “block during downtime” option, without it apps will still be accessible during downtime. Children and teens additionally have the option to get one more minute of screen time during downtime. This only works once a day and it allows the child to quickly finish what they were doing so they don’t lose progress in anything. If you are concerned about this, just set downtime to turn on one minute early.

I hope this helped.
