Screen time of my Macbook doesnt sync to other devices

Hi.

I bought a new Macbook and deleted the old one from my icloud account.

Now, although screen time is should be syncing across all my devices, I dont even see my Macbook's screen time on my iPhone.

Turning screen time off and on again didnt help, restarting didnt help.


What am I supposed to do now?

Hey cheeseanvil,


In your troubleshooting, did you also make sure that "Share across devices" is turned on for your new Mac? You'll find this in System Settings > Screen Time. Here's some additional information too, and the steps for sharing across devices can be found in the section "Turn on Screen Time" here: Use Screen Time on your Mac - Apple Support


Turn on Screen Time

Follow these steps in macOS Catalina or later:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings (Preferences), then click Screen Time. 
2. Click Options in the lower-left corner.
3. Click Turn On.
4. To be able to see usage information for every other device signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID, select “Share across devices” on each Mac. And on each iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > Screen Time and turn on the same setting.


If this setting is turned on or the behavior continues, we recommend working with Apple Support to look into this more. They can be reached here: Contact Apple Support
