I have followed the instructions to find Screen Time on my daughter's Mac laptop, but it doesn't appear under Preferences. The computer is a school device. Can schools remove Screen Time? Or is there another way to enable Screen Time?

Hi nerossi,


Screen Time is only available in macOS Catalina or later. macOS Mojave or earlier doesn't include Screen Time; rather, you can set Parental Controls instead.


To check which version of macOS you're running: Click the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. Select About This Mac.
