I have four kids with devices. All are updated to latest software. I have app limits set for all of them. Almost daily I go in and find that the app limits just disappear. Screen Time is basically useless in our house. Please fix this!
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16
Well. After spending about 30 minutes with a Senior Advisor, we may have identified where the bug is and how to work around it.
The bug appears to be related to making changes in the “Family” section at the top of Settings. Don’t make changes there. Make changes directly in the Screen Time section a little bit further down in Settings. That seems to have fixed our issue.
Select Settings -> Screen Time. Select the child member in that first screen and ONLY make screen time changes there. So far so good for us.
The advisor also observed the issue in Family section and has put in a defect order. Maybe a fix will come, but at least there appears to be a workaround.
I am beyond frustrated. Seriously considering going Android as it feels that Apple does not prioritize protecting our kids.
Have you received any feedback on fixing this - I am having the same problem daily ? Very frustrating.
I'm on iPad 17.4.1. Single-person household never touching the family settings, but my App Limits get wiped.
Why has Apple not answered this issue yet? Hello Apple…Calling Estación Apple, come in Apple. Does Apple ever answer questions on these forums?
App limits continually disappear in Screen Time
