I would really like the ability to set specific times in the day when my child can use their iPad not just a total limit for the day. Most of what I have read about screen time for kids says that it is more important to limit the time for an individual session than it is to set a total time limit for the day.
is there any way to achieve this?
iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi
Hi jse_,
Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. You can certainly set the time of day that the iPhone can be used by making a custom schedule with Downtime. You can see how to do so here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Manage Screen Time settings
Go to Settings > Screen Time. Then tap See All Activity, select a category in the list below and set limits. You can manage these settings with Screen Time:
Downtime
When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts. If you set a Screen Time passcode, Downtime includes an additional setting: Block At Downtime. When you choose this setting and you click Ask For More Time when Downtime starts, entering the passcode allows you to approve the app for 15 minutes, an hour, or all day. Child accounts can click One More Minute once, or click Ask For More Time to send their request to the parent account for approval.
Take care.
