How to Disable "one more minute" screen time limit on iPhone?

This still allows a continual 1min extension to child where they “as for 1 more minute” and who approves it? No one and then they are still up till unreasonable hour on phone. I generally take phone off my kids at bed time as this is the only way I ensure they have that device free time. I think this feature is rediculous

Sweet I put in feedback. Hopefully something pans out in a year…or 10…depending on when other phone distributors roll it out on theirs + 3 to 5 years to “perfect” and then call it “Innovation.”

Apologies, I’m in a mood and feel like venting.

But where on the product feedback site? There is absolutely no place to give feedback for "settings" or "screentime". I went there to ask for one more minute to be ended but after using search function, i ended up here.

As the feature you want to leave feedback about is part of the operating system, just use the general iPhone feedback section.

Please please please remove the “one more minute” option. How is this not on your radar to fix? Also, Apple, if you are fixing it, what is the estimated timeframe? This is causing so many arguments in our home.

As we all agree Apple has turn their eye over and over on this issue , even with thousands of parents requesting it. Imagine the not tech savvy parents that have no clue of their children’s behaviors online.

The only thing i can say that works and it has worked for us, is to have control over your router and modem. Check with your isp or wifi as you can restrict the internet from being used to the devices connected to it.

We schedule the Wiifi router to disconnect our child’s device from the internet until the next day during weekdays and late nights and she has NO control even the 1 min feature that Apple has failed to disable.

Hope it works!

I wish my kid had an iPad instead of an iPhone. I can block wifi per schedule but all she has to do is use the cellular connection. I really wanted to like the Apple parental controls coming from Android but they just don't work. I'll probably have to look to a paid option. I believe Verizon has some parental controls.

My child is using his ipad for 3 or more hours a day because of the stupid "One more minute" feature. He has allocated time for all apps. But then he repeatedly presses One more minute on other apps and individual web site addresses: Youtube.com, Youtube.ca, Youtube.co.uk, Youtube.fr, etc. You get the idea. It's driving me crazy. I want to disable "One more minute".

I also want to manually put in how much longer he can use the device for. It's not ever just 15 min, 1 hour or all day. I want to manually put in 5 min, 10 min or 30 min, or whatever I want.

There is no control right now for parents. There are SO many loopholes. But out of all the loopholes, this one is the most frustrating and seems to me to be the easiest to change.

My son repeatedly presses One more minute on other apps and individual web site addresses: Youtube.com, Youtube.ca, Youtube.co.uk, Youtube.fr, etc. He manages to watch 2-3 hours of Youtube a day using one minute at a time...

The app limits function is consistently temperamental and frequently does not work. I have tried so many things to fix this including following the many instructions posted to various threads, watched numerous YouTube videos, followed the instructions on the Apple website, installed the latest iOS software on my phone and that of my child’s. It is so irritating.

I need to add my voice here. My kid got many games from purchase history of family sharing, and for all games she takes advantage of that "one extra minute", adding her 30 extra minutes in total. Need an option to disable this feature. Sometimes, I feel like apple dont want to give such compatible features.

My settings have been like this for a long time and my child keeps doing the One More Minute thing, and all apps limits are set to "Block at the end." I mean, the apps do block at the end but he keeps doing one more minute for other things, I don't know what else to do. Meanwhile, my other 2 kids have Chromebooks, so easy to manage... not even fair how much Android kicked Apple's behind on the simplicity for parents to manage screen time for their children.

My teen can just click the “ignore limit for today” on their ipad, then they just plays games for the rest of the night! Whats the point of downtime if your kid can IGNORE it for the entire NIGHT? I tried switching their screentime to a 12 year old setting, so it but it showed the same options (A.K.A, loopholes)! Please, please help!

The one more minute feature does not seem to be removable. Super annoying and actually pointless to be honest. The best work around I have found is to ALSO do a limit on each application. Even if you only set it to 5 minutes.

No one from Apple has replied in this thread. And, I doubt anyone here cares if you move to Android. If Android phones suit you better, I say go for it.
