Roblox App Not Affected by Screen Time

Regardless of what I do, I cannot get Roblox to work with screen time limitations on my child’s account. He is using an iPad (7th Gen) with the latest update (15.2). Previously his account was on an iPad Mini (1st Gen, I think). 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 iPad. Neither method seems to have an impact. Any ideas or help are appreciated.

So very strange but make sure you turn on screen time using the device you want to control. When using my iPhone to turn it on Roblox is still available. When I do it from my Son's iPad it is blocked. It's almost as if the config stored in my iCloud is corrupted somehow, but when enabled locally on the iPad it works. Will see if it sticks......

Guys. Your kids are clicking “ignore app limit for the rest of the day” when their time is up. This is not a roblox issue.

I have downtime set up from my device, to have my child’s devices “shut down” at a specific time and not wake up until the time I choose. This is only accessed from my device by passcode, or her devices- but only if she has the passcode, which she does not.

but she was spending too much time on her screens so then I set up app limits and gave her a little time daily on each app. I set it up for her 2 main ones, not realizing I need to just set it up for the entire device. So she got through those 2 and moved to another, so I set a limit for that and when she got to another app I was like NO, and had it all shut down.

So then I go to her device and she has complete access to app limits. No passcode needed. I set it up on my phone for me and when you reach the limit, you get 3 options- 1- ignore for 1 more minute 2- ignore for an hour 3- ignore for the rest of the day.

This is not a roblox issue. They are not bending the app limits- your children are. This is absolutely an apple issue. If we can set up downtime for our kids devices, we should be able to control the app limits.
