Downtime 5-min notification not working

My child no longer gets the 5 minute warning notification when his downtime is about to kick in. He's on an iPhone 6s. Does anyone know how to enable this feature again?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Hey Amylynn2817,


I see that your child's iPhone no longer gets the reminder five minutes alert for downtime and I'd like to help!


Try toggling the 'Downtime' option by disabling it and then enabling it again through the Settings page. Sometimes, this can help register the settings for the device.


If the issue persists, I recommend that you restart your child's iPhone and see if it helps: Restart your iPhone

I hope this helps!


Warm regards.
