Screen Time Issue

Has the screen time issue been fixed yet or are kids still able to ignore rules for the day. I like using screen time to block my kids phone during certain hours among other things.

Hi RenZoE9,


To help us better assist you, can you let us know more about the situation? Are you referring to when a child asks for more time when Downtime starts? If so, please check out this link, which has information on options, and how to manage Screen Time settings, which may help: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Manage Screen Time settings

Go to Settings > Screen Time. Then tap See All Activity, select a category in the list below and set limits. You can manage these settings with Screen Time:

Downtime

Downtime

When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts. If you set a Screen Time passcode, Downtime includes an additional setting: Block At Downtime. When you choose this setting and you click Ask For More Time when Downtime starts, entering the passcode allows you to approve the app for 15 minutes, an hour, or all day. Child accounts can click One More Minute once, or click Ask For More Time to send their request to the parent account for approval.


Thanks!
