Screen Time on Apple TV 4K

Hi, the inability to set limits on the amount of my kids’ screen time usage when watching Apple TV on my home television is causing real problems.


While I can set daily usage limits on their Mac computers and iOS devices well, the Apple TV’s OS just doesn’t seem to have any way to do it. Ideally, it would work as part of the Screen Time limits I set for each of them through iOS and MacOS. Then it would be an integrated plan.


it’s just goofy to go to the trouble of setting up iOS and MacOS to say “my kid can only watch an hour of videos a day” to have him be able to simply fire up YouTube on AppleTV the minute that hour is up.


Please add this feature to Apple TV. But for now, I’d gladly take a workaround if there is one. Please let me know.
