“Always allowed” apps not allowed during downtime on Apple watch

Hello all,


I have enabled Downtime on my iPhone and this seems to have enabled Downtime on Apple watch also. But all of the “Always Allowed” apps I selected seem to be enabled on iPhone during that time while they stay disallowed on the Watch. How do I enable the “Always Enabled” apps on watch as well. For eg., “Sleep cycle” app is enabled on iPhone even during downtime but on watch “Sleep cycle” is disabled.

Hi moseslg,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! You can use the "Share Across Devices" feature by following the steps below:


Keep track of your screen time on iPhone

To share your Screen Time settings and reports across all your devices, make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID on each device and Share Across Devices is turned on.
1. Go to Settings  > Screen Time.
2. Scroll down, then turn on Share Across Devices.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
