How to disable “one more minute” on Screen Time?

hello people, I really do not understand why you guys are so mad about this? It's is one minute extra on the app. You already ruin their lives by putting screen time on their phone. You do not need to fuss over this, it is just ONE MORE MINUTE. It is not going to kill your kid, get over your helicopter parent selves.

Errrr because kids are happy to press one more minute over and over, which basically renders the screen time function useless. I just want the option to disable it to suit the needs of my family. If others want to use it, that’s all good.

Because it isn’t just one more minute it’s one more minute over and over on every single app on the iPad In The middle of the night when downtime is on. So an hour and a half of that till 2am in the morning is a problem to me and my child when they should be getting valuable sleep. So don’t generalise and think you know it all!

Ha, thanks Kiarawilliamss for your reassuring words. However I know this, you either intentionally or otherwise miss the point completely. I don’t want my kids on their tablets 24/7. And I also don’t want to have to go and collect their tablets every night. It’s annoying that when you set time limits, they can just get round them due to poor functionality by Apple. What’s the point in screen time, if it just doesn’t work?

Firstly, it’s not just one more minute to a determined kid, it’s one minute PER APP. Plus if your kid is smart, like mine, they can keep doing one more minute in the same app.

Then in addition if they’re smart, like mine, they realise they can watch YouTube non stop by making it a small side window and if they go to settings and change the time zone to the other side of the world, they completely bypass screentime!

This is garbage by Apple and it’s frustrating we all shout into the void and they just ignore / don’t even read the threads!

I think Apple is not going to go back on that and actually probably did it on purpose. From a business perspective, Apple wants more addiction to Apple products and, expecially with the kids, the long term business plan was limited by this feature (especially in Covid times). However.... I am sad to see that this did not raise any kind of compliance or moral rumors around the Company, which could have oblige it to rethink to it. At least, I hope it will very soon...

Actually, your child’s account can be set up as a child account indefinitely. I’m over 13 and am still subject to these parental controls. After 13, a child can have a regular iCloud account, and I think this is the default, but this can be changed when your kid’s account is created/set up. I don’t remember how this is done but I’m sure you can look it up. Kids soon to turn 13 that are under parental restrictions do not get released from these restrictions. I think the main thing that can be set up is Apple Pay, but I think it’s only with parental permission and such. I’m not sure about the “one more minute” thing, but I’m pretty sure it’s just one (I looked into it, here’s the link to another discussion about this issue)

Why hasn’t APPLE responded to this issue?! I called, I posted and still nothing! No we are working on it NOTHING! So frustrating

Maybe Apple can add One More Minute only when limit is reached. I put the downtime time, when games limits start only from 13:00. He plays 45 min, and than, if needed, can add One More Minute.

So your telling me after the screen time is up you want your child to have more time?

Apple, this One More Minute is BS - I spend $$$ on your products. I will soon join the others who are voting with their cash.

Fix it or lose customers!!!

But what about during the day? If you allow 2 hours of screentime, how would this work? Any insight would be greatly appreicated.

Nice tenisha224 but Apple should give parents an option to disable one-more-minute completely !!

same way limit the apps time It ask you for how long you can do how ever long

Did it work for you
