Snapchat and Instagram avoid parental app limits for a year, when will it be fixed?

It’s been roughly a year now. Apple’s iOS parental controls are so riddled with bugs and loopholes. Parents can’t keep up and monitoring and disabling activities has never been harder and so critically important. Can Apple please start just by fixing “app limits” and stop allowing app builders the ability to bypass it? Does anyone know how to solve it or when it will be fixed? Shame on you Apple, you are better than this.

I thought I did describe it. The mobile device allows you to go into “settings—screen time—app limits”. You can set a limit on social or on Instagram and Snapchat. That limit SHOULD stop the user use of the app once the limit is reached. It works correctly on tic-toc and other social apps. Even if you set it directly on “Snapchat”, let’s say 2 hr limit, the app will open and allow use for 3 hours…5 hours…no limits!

Perhaps you should describe the issue so that someone can provide guidance.

kids are also enterprising, and creative. If there’s a way around, it will be found.
