Screen time
My kid has an iPhone and a user account on the family’s iMac. They both are connected to his Apple ID. Is it possible to turn off screen time on the iMac but not on the iPhone?

Goodness, I can't get Screen Time to sync across devices for my kids (or actually even turn on anymore... it just keeps failing worse and worse - Screen Time is the single worst-implemented online service I have *ever* witnessed)... so it's kind of the opposite of the problem you're having. But I'd like to at least follow this thread, so see if a recommendation pops up that essentially might kick start this awful service into working correctly.
Hi Soda1933,
Sure. On the Mac, go to System Preferences > Screen Time > Options > Turn Off.
On most macOS/iOS versions, this should not affect the iPhone.
Cheers,
Jack
Thanks Jack.
I am on MacOS 11.2.1 and iOS 14.3 but it seems that whatever I modify on the iMac also impacts the iPhone 😕
Same result 🤷♂️
