Screen time for multiple devices using same apple id

I have 3 devices using same apple id.

11, XR and SE...

My underage daughter uses XR ios 13 and I use 11 ios 14 and I need to setup screen time across all the devices remotely as my daughter lives in a different country and I do not have physical access to the device.

I need to control screen time in XR. I setup screen time on my 11 ios 14, and turned on "Share across all devices" option.

But I cannot see the activity details of XR. What should be my approach?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hello Hello brightpuppy,

We're glad you contacted us back. In this case, if your daughter is using your Apple ID, you will need to create a new Apple ID for her. Then, she can log out and log in with her new Apple ID. Then you will send the Family Sharing invitation.

The resources below can help:

What is Family Sharing?

Take care.

Hello brightpuppy,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you need to be able to manage your daughter's iPhone. We understand that you can't see the screen time activity for the iPhone XR. We'll do our best to help. For this particular issue, Family Sharing may ben an option. "If it's your child's device, you can set up Screen Time and create settings right on their device or you can use Family Sharing to configure your child’s device from your own device."
