Screen time control does not block Snapchat!

The new screen time parental control is wonderful. However it has a major problem - it does not block Snapchat. I have tried many different methods, settings, restart the phone, etc. all other apps are blocked fine, just not Snapchat. What’s the point then, since Snapchat is the main app my kid is using? Apple please fix this ASAP!

iPad Pro, iOS 12

I noticed the same thing. After doing a bit of testing I found that if "Share Across Devices" is enabled, both SnapChat and Instagram would ignore the screen time limits. If I disable that setting, they would abide by the limits.
