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

Me too. This is a major problem for me. I’m on the verge of moving to Android because of this. I know other families that have had to switch because this feature is sorted in Android. Apple can you give us a date when this will be fixed. People have been asking for it for 4 years.
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.
How odd. My Daughters phone has had ios17 since its launch and she sat next to me yesterday and ‘one-more-minuted’ in order to show me something.
Her school mandates MS Surface products for work (which I was against) but I must say the parental controls are excellent (with no one-more-minute). Hmmm

My teen is bypassing app limits by pressing one more minute continuously. It’s a nuisance that they are willing to accept to continue on their device. How do you defeat this child defeat method. It is more of a worse behavior than if they were to be allowed to continue using the device unbothered. Help Apple!!!
Because the problem isn’t her having the phone, it’s the parental control being defeated by the child. A control that is represented to the parent as a level of control as well as an expectation that one more minute is just one more minute.
The one more minute feature completely undermines parent controls. My kids discovered you use it then switch off phone and no limits at all. So fed up with trying to find ways to control this. So much easier if apple just listened to parents rather than their wallet and removed feature. Different make of phone next time?
I agree that’s what I’m trying to get resolved
Apple deliberately sets out to turn our children into device addicts. Don't expect any help from them.
Whats the use of screen time if child able to bypass by clicking add one minute. Why did apple do this? Any update coming in near future fixing this loophole?

One More Minute needs to be removed immediately. It’s undermining and negates the whole purpose of Screen Time
Tell Apple:
this is ridiculous!
are there still no solution to this problem??
I give 10 minutes but she is using 5h 41m in average!!!!
i hope Apple can fix this asap
Following thread
The one more minute is driving me crazy. 15 and 13 year olds happy to do this for hours!! Any hacks or solutions please??
This is unacceptable!!!
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.
