How can I block TikTok Snapchat and instagram on parental controls?

I been trying to block social media platforms after being used for an hour. Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat do not block. Is there something that can be done?

Does it seem like the issue is isolated to Instagram and TikTok?

It looks like you came from the article below. Have you had the chance to try all the steps in that article?

This is happening for me, too.


I put a restriction of 30 minutes per day on TikTok, and also no TikTok past 10pm. However, I see her phone after 10pm and TikTok (and others, but this seems to be the one she is using) is all access, all the time.


I also cannot remove TikTok and no longer let her have access to it. It seems that once I say yes ONCE, I no longer have the option of rescinding my YES, and therefore it is yes FOREVER. Is that working how it is supposed to work?
