Screen time turning off

Why is the screentime turning off randomly? I have been a long time Android user and made the switch to the iPhone 14 for my preteen and myself for the promise of the safety features of using the screentime limit, blocking apps, content regulation. None of this is working and has caused so many problems in the few months we have had it! Has anyone had any luck with this?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

It might be that you incorrectly set something up, therefore causing screen time to randomly turn off, among the other issues you mentioned.


If you need further help, and you don’t find it within the Support Article I provided, or from another user, you may Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.

If you’re sharing it to your son’s device, could he be changing the settings? Did you put in your pin and also your Apple Id password for the extra security?


You may have some luck with setting up a family group under Apple ID. That gives you more control and capability to see where he is on Maps and such. It came in handy when my kids started going out especially driving.
