I have disabled multiplayer games , adding friends ,screen recording, nearby multiplayer, and private messaging in the screen time parental controls and yet my child can still play multiplayer games. What do I need to do.

Hi Voni289,


Thanks for keeping us updated.


Since these settings appear correct, let's look at this another way. Are you noticing that your daughter is playing one specific multi-player game or multiple ones? Are the Settings for Passcode Changes and Account Changes also set to "Don't Allow?"


We'll continue to try and help with these Screen Time issues but it's possible that Contact Apple Support may be the best option for you.


Take care!

Hi Voni289,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with the Screen Time Restrictions. We'd like to help.


It sounds like you followed these steps to set up and Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Have you ever been able to block multiplayer games on this device? Do you use Screen Time on one or more than one device? If more than one, are these restrictions in place on those devices?


Let us know and we'll go from there.

I have set up her device under content restrictions in the Game Center with “ don’t allow” multiplayer games, adding friends, screen recording, nearby multiplayer, private messaging, profile privacy changes....all set at “ don’t allow”. But she is still playing a multiplayer game. I don’t know if she is able to message privately or not.
