Can I Set Parental Controls on My Teen's Phone Similar To My Pre-Teen's Phone? Hello, I'm wondering if I can use the same restrictions on my 13 and 15 year-olds' phones similarly to my 11 year-old's. Seems as though Screen Time Restrictions works through the Family Sharing settings which do not allow any controls once they turn 13. I'm trying to avoid having to pay for third-party/third-rate software if at all possible. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you,

What about screen time for those older than 13 I have a 15 year old daughter and I would like to control her phone through screen time on family sharing. Meaning through my device. However - she has to be set as adult if older than 13? Why?

At what age can I no longer manage child's Screen Time from my iPhone? I have a 10 year old and a 13 year old in my Family, and my iPhone gives me the ability to manage Screen Time on their devices. I don't think I did anything special to enable this; my assumption is that iOS just provides this ability because they are children. I also have my adult spouse in my Family, and (of course) I don't have the ability to manage their Screen Time. Question is, at what age will Apple decide that my 13 year old is an adult and stop allowing me to manage their Screen Time from my iPhone? Is there any way to continue to manage their Screen Time after that point in time?
