When will Apple expand the Screen Time Downtime? When will Apple expand the Screen Time Downtime schedule to allow more than one schedule per day? Kids need downtime at bedtime, then during school morning, off at lunch, then on again for afternoon classes, then off after school, then on during dinner, etc. I love the Downtime feature. Just need more scheduling options...ASAP

Add "30 Minutes" or "Custom" Option to Screen Time Requests Would it be possible to add a "30 Minutes" or "Custom" option to screen time requests that I receive from my kids? Currently the options jump from 15 minutes to an hour. It would be nice to have a 30 minute option or a custom option where I can enter any amount of hours and/or minutes.

Consecutive Screen Time How can I limit CONSECUTIVE screen time of an app? This is, not the cumulative time an app is used through the day but the time it is used in a single "session" so to speak, the time it is used uniterruptedly (for example while binge scrolling). This is what I would like to limit, because otherwise I need the app to be funtional through the day, I don't want it to be blocked permanently and unable to send me message notifications after I reach a certain point. I am only interested in limiting the time I use it in every individual pick up (so 1 or 2 minutes tops). I know I could set the limit to 1 or 2 minutes but then if I fail it will be blocked the whole day and I have to up the limit a bit more each time, quite annoying. It would be nice if there was this consecutive time option.

No you can't. Only one downtime is allowed at any given time. You can keep changing it as many times as you want.

You may get better and prompt responses if you may kindly provide the iPhone Model that you have and the iOS version if it is known to you.
