When my child makes a request for more time, he uses an iPad 9 running iPad OS 17.x.
My iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 17.x does not notify me. If I navigate to settings>screentime>child, I can see the pending request. But why don’t I get a notification?
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17
Hi Pho Da Nguyen,
Thanks for providing those details. Let's also make sure that you have banners enabled for notifications as well. You can verify this by going to Settings > Notifications > Screen Time > Banners. You can also see more about notifications here: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Regards.
It is absolutely horrible to receive screentime requests through iMessage. Apple, please change this back! Whoever decided to change to iMessage instead of notifications doesn't have kids. It is really a nuisance to have it come through iMessage. My kid will continuously spam me with requests to get my attention. Well, that means when I text them, they are missing my responses in the enormous sea of requests sent. And I have to scroll through all of those requests jamming up my iMessage thread with her. I hate it. Please give us the option back to choose if requests come to parents as notifications or in iMessages.
I have screen time notification set to be as intrusive as possible.
Yes. When I upgraded from 16 to 17, the problems started.
The iPhone x has iOS 16, can’t be upgraded to iOS 17. This is the iPhone that still sends requests via push notifications.
yes the update to IO17 ruined the old push notification settings.
Still broken - months after 17 release 17.2 has no functioning screentime notifications
epic fail by apple developers
Epic Fail please work to fix this. And improve screen time!
This issue is so frustrating! Even after making sure our emails are on for iMessage we still don’t get notifications. They have to tell us and we check manually and it’s there. Horrible update!!
I don’t even get iMessage.
How and where do you add the email
Under my child’s messages/Facetime is grayed out so I can’t add it??
But they are under my Family
Enable account changes in Screen Time settings.
