GET RID OF 1 MINUTE EXTRA SCREEN TIME!

Screentime is useless with this workaround for kids and teenagers. Surely there is a way to turn this off?

This is driving all parents of kids with Apple devices MAD 😡.

App limits continually disappear in Screen Time I have four kids with devices. All are updated to latest software. I have app limits set for all of them. Almost daily I go in and find that the app limits just disappear. Screen Time is basically useless in our house. Please fix this!

Apple Screen Time app limits not working I’ve used screen time for my kids to limit time on certain apps. It worked well for years, but now I will set the limits and then they will suddenly disappear after a day or even less. Other settings also get erased including downtime and content restrictions. I have changed the passcode and the kids swear they have not tried to change any settings. This issue started about two months ago. I have updated iOS on all the devices. I have turned screen time off and set up settings again. I have tried setting the limits from my device as well as the individual devices. My kids will spend too much time on their phones without limitations in place and creates repeated bouts of anger for my wife. Please help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Time App Limits keep disappearing Why does this screen time and app limits functionality not work? The ones I set are over-written, even tho I have block app turned on, half of the time they disappear and I have to restart the list. What is going on? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

There is no such workaround if you configure Screen Time correctly.
