Screen time Always allow apps

I have given both of my daughters several apps they are always allowed. However, after I exit screen time all the apps disappear and we have to add them back constantly. Anyone know why?

Hello Dolphinexpert,


I understand that there are several apps in Screen Time that you have set to always allow for your daughters but after exiting Screen Time the apps all disappear and you have to add them back in. I am happy to help you!


Let's go through the article about using Screen Time just to ensure that no step was missed accidentally.

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let's also go through the article for using Parental Controls. I just want to make sure every is marked according to what you need it to be.

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Let me know if the apps are still disappearing after going through the articles.

Have a good day!
