Apple Screen Time APP LIMITS - STILL not working?

I've been a long-time Apple fan buying all things apple. But recently, this it's just been all-out ridiculous. PLEASE FIX THIS APPLE!!! This is a MAJOR SAFETY issue for ppl with children who need to block things... and cannot. Why has this problem not been solved in over a few years?! Unless this is fixed, I guarantee you that you will be losing some major money in the tech industry. Families are not gonna take it anymore. You have to seriously consider your customers for the type of money we're spending. I believe I have 10 devices to my name alone, not including my other family members. If you count that multiplied by millions of other families, that's a ton of money. So don't turn a deaf-ear.

1 - Under Settings > Screen Time > App Limits, and tap Add Limit

No arrow or expansion option appears under 'category' to show a list of individual apps to block individually.

2 - You can't even look up an individual app under the search bar! Nothing comes up.

There is NO WAY to temporarily lock any individual apps.

This should be one of the most EASIEST functions to place in! What type of ppl are working at apple these days???

First, perhaps understand the Apple Support Community is a user-to-user technical forum. Contributors here are all end-users, just like you. Other than the site Moderators, Apple neither monitor nor participate here. As such, if you hope to reach Apple through these forums, you will be sorely disappointed.

In view of your comments and concern, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians may be able to offer assistance:
