Hi,

I went though the process of Reset all settings for all Family phones with no results, after the trouble of resetting all the phones, screentime behaved badly once more.

After struggling with the usability of this feature over the last months, I think I figured out a setup that it works with iOS 16.4.

First, I completely disabled Downtime.

Second, I added screen time intervals per app categories, but I made sure to have no more than 10 apps in each interval. I know it is annoying and the screentime setup will look ugly, but I am now on the first week with consistent time limits both on parent iphone and screen time app on osx.

Also, the "ask for 1minute" hack the children successfully used to mess up with the time limits no longer works.

Any feedback if this is a solution for anyone is highly appreciated.
