Screen Time not blocking/affecting Chrome after iOs 14 update

After the new update the Screen Time doesn't block or limit Chrome. In fact Chrome doesn't even show up in the "Always Allowed" section as an option.

Any solution to this?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

I have found a solution! It's not perfect, but I've been testing it and it just about works:


  1. On the device in question, go to this address: chrome://flags/
  2. Then search for "screentime" (all one word).
  3. You should see: Enables ScreenTime Integration
  4. Switch this to ENABLED.


It's a bit glitchy, but this is the feature that they're working on. And it locks Chrome in the way you'd expect it to.
