Hi there KZ235,
To customize what apps are available during downtime without having to set up app limits, follow these steps from Set up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone:
Choose apps and contacts you want to allow at all times
In Screen Time, you can specify apps that can be used, and contacts you can communicate with, at all times—even during downtime (for example, in the event of an emergency).
1. Go to Settings> Screen Time > Always Allowed.
2. Below Allowed Apps, tapor
next to an app to add or remove it from the Allowed Apps list.
3. To specify contacts you want to allow communication with, tap Contacts.
The option you selected in Communication Limits appears here. You can change this setting to Specific Contacts, then choose one of the following:
• Choose From My Contacts: To select specific people to allow communication with.
• Add New Contact: To add a new contact and allow communication with that person.
4. Tap Back at the top left.'
If you are trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so that we can assist further.
Cheers!
Why is safari not on the “allowed apps” list? My child is sneaking onto safari at bedtime to watch YouTube, etc. which nullifies the whole point of having “downtime” set up.
