Need for option to disable “one more minute“ in screen time limits, kids are able to continue using apps that are limited, what’s the use of screen time limits if they can continuously use one more minute? should be able to turn that off in screen time settings

Follow these steps:
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod ...
You may have to set Screen Time Passcode correctly.
I know this is an old thread but I have solved the problem. Go into content restrictions and set apps to 4+ or younger. It removes all apps for over 4yr olds. The apps disappear from their phone all together. My daughter hates it when I do it.

Try this way:
1 - Set Downtime from 0:00 to 23:59.
2 - Turn App limits off.
This way one cannot use any app without asking permission.
It works with my son’s iPad.
Yes! Please fix the one more minute. Teens do keep using it over and over again and then it becomes a habit. It’s like they keep getting their drug fix and keep tapping. DOWNTIME IS USELESS WITH ONE MORE MINUTE!
I agree and I too am thinking of moving to android due to Apples complete unwillingness to deal with this. I will say that if you go to settings and disallow deleting apps then they can’t remove and reinstall anyway.

This does not solve the issue. I will have to purchase an APP to get this locked down properly. Kids today are super tech savvy...Apple should know this and provide "options" to have this "one more minute" or not. I feel like I should get a refund on the App Store for the APP I need to purchase to get this accomplished. Are there any plans to have this fixed in next IOS releases? Big FAIL Apple!
Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
Note that, though they read all of the feedback, they don't respond so you're not going to get any answer as to whether or not they have plans to change this in the next update. However, the more people who give them feedback, the more likely the situation is to change.

I have this exact same problem and this was a total headache. However, I was able to workaround this by going to:
This way, the "one more minute" will now be gone.
This answer does not help. I need to stop my daughter from going on a disabled app over and over using one more minute. If Apple is going to market this product as "parental controls" then they need to allow parents to control the one more minute
Lots of bugs in screen time. My children have found out they can continue to watch saved videos in camera roll by adding them to a messege thread to either parent and watching but not sending. Can also go into settings storage review large attachments and watch camera roll items there. Also can go into camera and click the small thumbnail on bottom and view entire camera roll. Kids are smart but these back doors keep them awake at night playing on phones. Only solution is to have it be charged in common area and not bedrooms

My 9 yo did this for 45 minutes til i got up from bed to check on him. Very inconvenient. I think screentime should not be an option offered if it isnt going to work as expected.
Charge the phone overnight in your bedroom.
That actually doesn’t fix the issue either. I have app limits n everything and my son is literally standing in front of me one more minuting any app he wants to.
My 16-year-old son with ADHD will one more minutes himself till 4 AM. This needs to be fixed. I shouldn’t have to physically take his phone every night. I should be able to rely on the parental controls.
I caught my step daughter asking me for more time for Snapchat. I refused and after 5 minute, I caught her restarting her phone and then getting a one minute on snap chat. There are glitches, that iPhone have to work on
Why does Apple not want to allow us to turn the “one more minute” request off?? It has to be for their benefit and to allow kids to still use the apps so app developers don’t get upset with them. I’m not sure, but they have got to allow us parents to restrict apps completely! Thinking of moving to an android solely because of this flaw! If I had known it was like this I never would have purchased iPhones. Apple you have dropped the ball on this issue!
No one here in this user-to-user forum can answer "why" Apple does or does not do anything. I recommend you let them know your thoughts directly:
The more people who do, the more likely Apple is to consider making a change.
