Instagram not working on Screen time limit

Have there been a fix for the instagram not working on screen time limits?? What’s the point of limiting screen time if you are allowing “one more minute” as an option?? Or delay for 15minutes? How do you prevent this?? Thanks

Unfortunately I do not think that is possible at the moment. This could be a possibility in the future.


For the time being the closest option would be to use a screen time passcode. Set a passcode so that only you can change Screen Time settings and allow more time when app limits expire. If you're a parent, use this feature to set up enforceable content, communication, and privacy limitations for your child.


If you're using Family Sharing to manage a child account, follow these steps:

  1. Tap Settings > Screen Time.
  2. Scroll down and choose your child's name under Family. 
  3. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue. 
  4. Set up DowntimeApp Limits, and Content & Privacy with all of the limitations that you want for your child, or tap Not Now. 
  5. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. 
  6. Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it. 


If you're not using Family Sharing to manage a child account, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that you're on the device used by the child.
  2. Tap Settings > Screen Time.
  3. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue. 
  4. Select This is My Child's [device].
  5. Set up DowntimeApp Limits, and Content & Privacy with all of the limitations that you want for your child, or tap Not Now. 
  6. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. 
  7. Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
