Parental controls not working on WhatsApp and youtube
Hi everyone, trying to set up my lads phone (12yo) with parent controls.
I have set it on Downtime to shut down at 9pm .
All apps block out at 9pm bar WhatsApp and YouTube?

Hi ConfusediPhoneuser1000,
We'll be glad to help you out. We'd recommend starting by ensuring those specific applications are set up properly in Screen Time to make sure they are blocked. Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
"When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts. If you set a Screen Time passcode, Downtime includes an additional setting: Block At Downtime. When you choose this setting and you click Ask For More Time when Downtime starts, entering the passcode allows you to approve the app for 15 minutes, an hour, or all day. Child accounts can click One More Minute once, or click Ask For More Time to send their request to the parent account for approval."
Cheers!
