How to remove the "ignore limit" button on Screen Time?

My Daughter uses her phone a lot and I have tried to get her off it but she will not listen. I have tried putting a time limit on with the screen time setting for kids but when she runs out of time it says ‘ok’ or ‘ignore limit’. Is there a way to make it so it only says ‘ok’ and doesn’t have an ignore limit button?

Hi Whitefangwolf264,


Thanks for your post! We understand you would like to restrict the time your daughter spends using her device. Your were correct to use Screen Time; however, we suggest you add a Screen Time passcode to prevent your daughter from ignoring the limit. Please refer to the articles below for more support.


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

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

Hi i_rina,


Unfortunately that didn’t work for me but it kind of does work at the same time. If you go on to settings and then on to time limit, then press add limit or the limit that you already have on, you then should be able to press block device when time limit ends then you should be able to press block device at end of limit. That seemed to work for me. This also works for downtime.
