Hi Everyone looking for some help - maybe this is a bug, I am trying to set the communication Limits my daughter is allowed to communicate with during downtime (her Family)
after I go and select the contacts and come out of the window it shows the number of contacts. when I go back in it has returned to everyone (which is the setting during "During Screen Time"
is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hello NotWebbie,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to control contacts with Screen Time on your daughter's iPhone. To help with this, please force close the Settings app on her iPhone, restart and make sure that her iPhone is up to date as well:
Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers!
all iPhone's are running iOS 14.1 (at time of writing this is the latest)
how will force closing the settings app on her phone change the fact that after I set the contacts (form my phone) come out of the window and back in again the settings are not remembered?
Thanks for replying, NotWebbie, and that additional info, it really helps! If you are still having an issue with this, please contact Apple directly for further help with your situation:
Have a great day and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Did you happen to contact support? I’m seeing this and have tried closing the app and restarting with no success. It still resets to “Everyone” for me as well on 14.1
