Screen time communication limits and downtime contacts

That didn’t work for me.

Same here, I’ve tried everything mentioned and still no fix! I am really considering Android right about now!

I want to know how to make your contacts not downtime contacts

Can you be more specific with your question

When a non-downtime caller tries to call during downtime, is it supposed to show up in missed calls?? To me, that defeats the whole purpose, because it’s still a form of contact.

i’ll check tomorrow and let you know

So the phone won’t ring they can’t reply but it does allow the person know they were called.

This does not resolve the issue for me.

Called up Apple today with this exact problem and got nowhere

Sorry everyone...tried & tested it again the next morning, but it didn’t work..so back to square one.

Apple Help!

This fixed my issue after many months of frustration! THANK YOU!!!!

This worked for us as well! Thanks for posting this tip!

Thank you, this was the fix for me. Not sure why 3 worked and 3 didn’t, but after doing this all 6 contacts work now.

Probably wasn’t clear, my apologies. I meant do that in addition to the downtime contacts. My point was to make sure that the Messages, Phone, and FaceTime apps are allowed during downtime. Otherswise it won’t let your child call/text at all. I have this setup and it works exactly the way it’s meant to. During downtime, my son can only call or text my wife or myself. All other contacts are blocked.

Our teens downtime contacts worked fine until after the last update. Now the allowed contacts are blocked. We search and tried everything solution we could find, but nothing worked. The only way around it has been to take off the downtime restriction. This does not work for us. I have been in contact with apple support and have a case number (Apple case 101021038261) We have been communicating for about 2-3 weeks. We have sent screen recording of the issues and they know what is happening. The engineers are supposed to be working to find a solution. In the meantime, our consequences are useless. I didn't want to take the phone away completely because I need to be able to monitor life 360 when my daughter is driving. It also makes it more difficult for us to communicate during busy schedules. Apple PLEASE FIX THIS!
