Screen Time

Hi Guys,


I want to give my mother’s old iPhone SE to my son. Screen time isn’t appearing on ios 11.4.1


I got that info from settings>General>About>Version


I want to know, is there any way of checking a phones activity/screen time if screen time isn’t appearing, as it isn’t a feature on older iOS, can someone find out what activity has happened on that iphone SE in question without having screen time available or is it impossible?


thanks in advance,


M

iPhone SE

Screen Time was introduced in iOS 12.


Note: If you are on iOS 11, you can use Restrictions from the Settings app → GeneralRestrictions.


The best idea would be to update your iPhone SE to the latest version of iOS 14. This way, your son's iPhone will have all the new features.


Tip: To monitor your child's iPhone and its activity, you can also use third-party apps/services. Please Google it. However, they have a steep subscription cost.


Hope it helps.

So if the phones content has been deleted entirely manually, but not done properly by going into settings and erasing all content and resetting the phone, is there anyway of finding out when everything was deleted, going back to the original question, with screen time, you could check when the was in use but without that, is it impossible?
