Screen time

the app limit of an app if set for one minute(say ),, the app is still not being blocked after that time ,, even after 3 to 4 minutes , the app is working without being blocked

if the screen of (your time is over ) pops up ,, then u can click dismiss for the day

but should have only “one more minute “ and enter passcode option” as I need it be blocked after that time

Hi there Chicken6969,


We understand you're experiencing an issue with app limits and Downtime in Screen Time on your iPad, and we'd like to see if we can assist.


To get started, review the steps here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Also, check to make sure that both "Block at Downtime" and "Block at End of Limit" have been enabled. If you don't have a passcode enabled for Screen Time, you may need to do so to see these options.


Finally, check to make sure these apps are not listed in Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed.


We hope this helps!
