Screen Time not working

I set screen time for some apps. But when you access the secret app, then ST it will just asking 3 options and going inside the app without asking password. So is there I did any mistake? Or does the app not worth after version update 14.3?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

Thanks for that clarification, Basha-Mad-Apple,


This is expected behavior for Screen Time on your own device. Screen Time is not a hard stop and will allow you to bypass it. It is designed as an awareness aid for your own device. On a managed device, like that of a child, is is a hard stop and would require the permission of the individual managing Screen Time or the password to bypass.

If so, is it called Secret app, or were you referring to a different app? Please let us know the steps that you're following.
