Trick to bypass screen time limit Screen time limits which have been set on my childrens iPhones have been repeatedly „disappearing“ (I set them on the parent iPhone and without apparent timing or action they are gone after some time). I challenged my son (12). Hey (finally) told me his work around: When the time is up he requests „one more minute“. After this he closes the app (swipes it to close). When he then restarts the app the limit is gone. He says that timing is critical. And if it does not work with one app he takes another app that is in the same category (eg games). He showed me and it actually works. Not sure how to control his screen time now.

Screen time limits disappearing Since iOS16, I noticed that my kids' screen time limits keep getting disabled on a daily basis, that includes app limits, downtime and content restrictions. I was finally able to figure out the bug that allows kids to bypass screen time from their devices. Parent sets Screen Time limits: downtime, app limits (all Games and Entertainment categories), content restrictions Child clicks on 1st app that is locked. It shows the message that the app is locked and they have the option to select "One more minute". Child clicks "One more minute" on 1st locked app. Exits screen. Child clicks on a different locked app and selects "One more minute". Exits the screen. Child clicks on a 3rd locked app and selects "One more minute." Exits the screen. Child's apps are now fully unlocked, and parent's device shows that Screen Time app limits have disappeared. I noticed that in Reddit, parents are baffled how their toddlers and tweens are hacking their screen time passcodes. This bug needs to be addressed.

Roblox App Not Affected by Screen Time. Why is screen time not working on Roblox app? Regardless of what I do, I cannot get Roblox to work with screen time limitations on my child’s account. He is using an iPhone 14 Pro with the latest update (16..4). I have tried limiting Roblox App individually, I have tried limiting all Games, and I have tried limiting all Apps. Besides the apparently untouchable Apple designated Apps, Roblox is the only other App that refuses to be limited. I have attempted these adjustment through the screen time settings on my own device and I have made them directly on his iPhone. Backup the iPhone and game data. Delete the app from his iPhone after that and restarted the devices. Install the app back on to the iPhone. and set parental controls once more. It did not help, I turned off Screen Time and parental controls on the iPhone in Settings > Screen Time. Restart once more and turn them back on and set it up and still it does not work. None of the method seems to have any impact. Any ideas or help are appreciated.
