What happens to screen time when my child turns 18?

What happens when my child turns 18? Will their screen time stop? They’re becoming an adult, so I want to know if restrictions I added onto their phone will automatically turn off because of that.

Screen Time Hi, I’m turning 18 in 1 week, and I was wondering about screen time/restrictions. Do they automatically turn off when I turn 18, or do my parents have to do that?

Screen time when I turn 18 So I have a very locked down iPhone, my mother controls my phone via family sharing, (no App Store, no Siri, no safari, not even a calculator) and I’m turning 18 soon. Will these restrictions turn off since I will be a legal adult? I heard Android had a function like this and I’m wondering if iOS has something similar. Thanks in advance!
