Since the iOS 16 update, my husband and I have been having trouble with the parental controls. Screen time controls are now in two locations and they don’t always match. My kids will have down time turn off sporadically. The times set for downtime are sometimes different. Has anyone else seen concerns?
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
Screentime is a buggy nightmare right now. What I found is that you have to let the usage stats load completely before changing 1 setting. You can only set 1 setting then you must back all the back out to the main settings page, then go back in and you get to change 1 more setting. This is really fun when you have 30 educational apps that you have in always allow and the list gets wiped clean. Apple absolutely knows about this. There is no way that QA missed this. It works a lot better from a Mac on Ventura. I can set multiple settings without everything getting completely wiped or having to back out for each setting, however there seems to be some kind of app duplication issue from the mac where you may end up with multiple copies of Chrome or another app. Right now my oldest kid has 5 or 6 of the same app allowed listed in her always allowed list.
I've released some terrible code in my day, but this is really something special. Hopefully they will sort it.
Me too is there any solution to this yet?
Not getting better for us. Hoping Apple sees these threads and fixes it!!!
Parental controls acting weird and changing randomly.
