There could be a few reasons why Screen Time is not working on your device. Here are a few things you can try:

  1. Restart your device: Try restarting your iPhone to see if that helps resolve the issue.
  2. Check your settings: Make sure that Screen Time is turned on in your device's settings. You can do this by going to Settings > Screen Time.
  3. Update your software: Make sure your device is running the latest version of iOS. You can check for updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
  4. Disable restrictions: If you have restrictions enabled, try disabling them to see if that helps resolve the issue. You can do this by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  5. Reset Screen Time: If none of the above solutions work, you can try resetting Screen Time by going to Settings > Screen Time > Reset Screen Time Passcode. Keep in mind that this will delete all of your Screen Time data and settings, so make sure you have a backup if necessary.
