Screentime time zone (the user or the parent)

I use parental controls on my kids’ devices via Screentime. When I travel to another time zone and look at their usage—does it show activity in my time zone or theirs ? (For example if it shows 30 min of use and 10 pickups between 10pm and 11pm— is that in my zone or theirs ? )

Parental control in family plan Hi, I have a family plan (3 adults and 3 kids). Is it possible to select a particular parent for a particular kid's screen-time request rather than all 3 adults getting the notification when a child wants more screen time? For example kid 1's request will be sent to the organizer (parent 1) Kid 2's request to parent 2 kid 3's request to parent 3 The reason I ask is because one of the parent and kid are traveling (in a completely different time zone) and whenever that child requests more screen-time I get the notification at odd hours. Thanks.

Screentime, our children learnt another workaround Hi, one of my children began using a new workaround a week ago which involves region and I can’t find a way to block it. Is there a way to turn off settings completely and allow parts of it instead of blocking parts of it? It’s getting tiresome, me and my wife have been battling numerous workarounds since screentime came. Is there perhaps some other application that can be bought from AppStore to replace screentime that doesn’t interfere with family sharing? The device in question is running iOS 18.2.1

Location Services no longer part of Screentime Controls Screentime has been a disaster since the latest iOS update. My child has lots of access he didn’t use to have. One of the biggest problems is that there is no longer a way to prevent the child from changing the time zone under Screentime (previously under location services) so now when downtime is on, he just changes the time zone and is on a mac till 3am. The only work around is to allow only 1 minute on any app and then grant requests all day long, which is a pain. All devices are up to date. I already turned screentime off and turned it back on again to no avail. Bring back this part of screentime so kids cannot get around downtime. See image. No option to control location services anymore on screentime.
