When u create a child restriction on the iPad like “time use” the iPad lists an “ignore time limit” button/option when the restriction is activated which allows the child to bypass the restriction.... how does a parent remove the option to ignore the restriction?
iPad, iOS 9
Hey there Icemancometh21,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, do you have a Screen Time passcode set up in the Screen Time settings? If not, take a look at the following steps on how to set that up:
Set a Screen Time passcode
You can set a passcode so that only you can change Screen Time settings and allow more time when app limits expire. Use this feature to set content and privacy limitations for your child's device. The steps to set up a Screen Time passcode depend on whether you're using Family Sharing.
If you're using Family Sharing to manage a child account
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Scroll down and choose your child's name under Family.
3. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue.
4. Set up Downtime, App Limits, and Content & Privacy with the limitations that you want for your child, or tap Not Now.
5. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm.
6. Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
If you're not using Family Sharing to manage a child account
1. Make sure that you're on the device used by the child.
2. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
3. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue.
4. Tap This is My Child's [device].
5. Set up Downtime, App Limits, and Content & Privacy with the limitations that you want for your child, or tap Not Now.
6. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm.
7. Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
These steps can be found in this link here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
After you've set a Screen Time passcode, you should see an option to "Block at End of Limit" when setting up or editing an App Limit. When "Block at End of Limit" has been enabled, your child to see an option to ask for additional time, and the Screen Time passcode would need to be entered in order to continue using the app.
Let us know if that's able to help.
Have a great day!
