Parental control in family plan

Hi,

I have a family plan (3 adults and 3 kids). Is it possible to select a particular parent for a particular kid's screen-time request rather than all 3 adults getting the notification when a child wants more screen time?

For example kid 1's request will be sent to the organizer (parent 1)

Kid 2's request to parent 2

kid 3's request to parent 3

The reason I ask is because one of the parent and kid are traveling (in a completely different time zone) and whenever that child requests more screen-time I get the notification at odd hours. Thanks.

Hi anwesh,

To clarify, anyone with the ability to approve additional time requests would receive the notification. As you mentioned, due to time zones this may result in receiving those notifications at odd hours. In these cases, we'd recommend using Focus for your own device: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

We also want to ensure your voice is heard regarding the way you use these features, and how they affect you. Feel free to provide feedback to Apple Engineer's using: Product Feedback - Apple

Kindest regards!

Hi.

Thank you for your response and the link. I read through the link you sent but it does not solve my question. Is there anywhere else I can get help to solve my query?
