Screen Time Locked - Roblox - Why can my child still access this game??????

I'm a very frustrated parent at the moment and have been trying to work out this problem for the last 4 weeks. When my son's iPad is in downtime, all apps have been blocked at downtime (as I have selected this option and they have the hourglass timer indicated on the screen), however, there is this one app (Roblox game) that doesn't want to shut off. Why is this???


I haven't allowed this app in the allowed apps function. The iPad has iOS 12.4. I know my son isn't doing anything to his device to override this, as I have his device.


On a side note: is this a conspiracy by Roblox to override Apple's iOS in order to get children addicted to this game?


Thanks for your help.

Same here.


I cannot get Screen Time to work on Roblox. Every other game app is shaded with the hourglass symbol—not Roblox.


Did Apple make a deal to exclude Roblox from the Screen Time controls? It’s very odd that one is able to set the controls, but they don’t work for Roblox, and only for Roblox.


I was able to SPECIFY that I wanted to set a time limit ONLY on Roblox. It will not enforce a time limit.
