Screentime

As of recently my daughter (10) is able to change her on screentime passcode. When I change it on my phone, it doesn’t change on her phone? Anyone else have this issue?

Also her iCloud mail account is suddenly (7/21… I just noticed today 7/1/22) isn’t working. Says there isn’t a passcode but to access her Apple ID is grayed out.

Why doesn’t Screentime work anymore? It has been at least a year now of screentime no longer functioning properly. I setup settings for all of my kids and then within 24 hours they are cleared out. No, my children do not know the passcode. I have changed it multiple times. I see this posted all over the Internet. All Apple’s previous suggestion do not fix the issue. When will Apple address this?

Screen Time resetting My child’s screen time settings keep resetting back to nothing. I have to setup the settings nearly every single day. I got my child an iPhone because I was able to make it safe for him and it was great for several months. For the last few weeks though, the settings keep disappearing and he has full access to everything. How do I fix this?

Screen time passcode sync issue between parent iPhone and child iPad on iOS 18 Bought a new iPad 10 for the kid. Thought I would be able to apply parental controls and limit his screen time but while setting up the initial iPad configurations ended up putting a common password.. My kid worked it out and now is able to play his game for 75 mins instead of 20 but requesting exemption. Attempted to fix this and the issue is: ON the child ipad under screen time (it thinks I am the child) so no option to change screen time passcode. All apple documentation pointed for parent to change child's screen time via their own phone. I just did that and the updated screen time password works on my iphone but the ipad still works on old one. In short password changed outside the child ipad seems to accept the wizard but does not apply on ipad. How to change it? I want to avoid a factory default else he will lose his games access/history.

Can you change the Screen Time password on her phone to something more complex?

Have you checked Settings/Screen Time for any restrictions?

Yea I can. However when I originally set up the screen Time I was able to control the passcode from my device.
