Apple Screen Time app limits not working

Are you setting up the screentime and restrictions directly on their iPad or doing it from your parent phone and having it pushed to their IPad?

It's really hard to come to any other conclusion than it being intentional.

I've concluded they (Apple) dont want it to work. I'm going to switch to Samsung

I'm extremely sad but we too are having this problem. I have to change from Apple if I can't trust their controls.

Now it's not even letting me put the limits back on. I pick the app, set the limit and then try to press done and nothing happens.

This is unacceptable

I think we have to face reality. If Apple wanted it to work, it would work. There is no $$$ incentive for them to make Screen Time work right. Quite the contrary.

Agreed. Apple's brand is slipping

It is helpful but SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED. Hello Apple, are you listening. You are turning into Windows.

I tried this and unfortunately it did not work for me

Well said!

Wow- I tried to respond to this, with some strategies I’ve been trying, but it got immediately flagged and removed. Wow, they really don’t want to be held accountable!

Wow- my reply to you was deleted also. Not sure how to connect out of chat.

Just motivates me to really start reaching out to other sources. Blow that whistle!

I got a formal response from my State AG complaint where apple basically said just keep watching for updates, like we said. Sigh.

My assumption isn’t that they have a known problem they refuse to fix. My assumption is the system is working exactly how they want it to. Which is, it’s not working at all. They need kids to stay addicted. They can’t come out and say, “We decided to remove our downtime option for parents with kids because our bottom line requires them being on the device and apps.” Rather, aww shucks, it doesn’t work and we can’t figure it out….
