Child changing time zone to avoid downtime on Family Sharing

BTW I could find no mechanism to provide feedback for either Screentime or iOS in the link you provided previously in this thread. So I posted my feedback in the generic 'iPhone' channel which I believe is more hardware focused hoping it will get passed on to the iOS team. Do you know of a better place to do this instead?

Apple does not answer questions here in this user to use forum. Nor do they read here for suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Product Feedback - Apple

Thanks Idris, that's exactly what I did, however as I mentioned I could find no mechanism to provide feedback for either Screentime or iOS in the link you provided 😔 . It's almost as if Apple don't have a dedicated product team for Screentime or iOS? highly unlikely, or they deliberately don't want to hear from Screentime or iOS users? again also unlikely. So there must be a more relevant place to do this somewhere? Otherwise I find it astonishing that there are no options to provide feedback at an OS level, iOS, iPadOS or MacOS via the Product Feedback page? 🤷‍♂️

I am also highly skeptical that Apple don't look at these community forums from time to time. Apple are the Gold Standard in Human Centered Design. They will have their ears open on all channels.

You provide feedback for iOS under "iPhone".

Hi dgcpa,

Did you find a solution to your problem? I'm facing the same issue. I've put one hour for games but my daughter plays Roblox for 2-3 hours everyday. I turned on the content and privacy restrictions also and restricted everything. Still she continues to play whatever game she wishes for how much ever time. Why can't Apple provide a permanent fix for this?

I don't think they purposely leave these loopholes, I think they no longer have good technical people who understand the product and fix these issues! Until few years back they had people who understood the product and resolved these issues but no more!

This was happening to me as well. I changed it on my child’s phone and it seems to work. It does require a passcode. I think it has to do with at the age of 13 they can change some of their settings. I’m not sure but it seems to hold if you set it on their phones. Apples parental controls are bit to be desired

Has there been a solution to this? I also need to stop my child using this workaround. Come on Apple- get on this.

I'm having the same issue here. I followed all of the instructions and nothing works. I contacted Apple support twice this week and they couldn't figure it out either.

@Mr_TW

Yes, I did. I tried all possible variations. I also tried to set this limit to myself on my parental device. Nothing works. I tried toggling both of ways, etc.

This no longer works. Now what?

I have the same issue, did you find a solution?

I am finding the same issue. I cannot stop my son from changing the date and time.

You provided the missing link! I am so grateful. It is missing step. Thank you!

Thanks

At the beginning I had the Parental Controls on.

Turning off and on is meant turning all Parental Controls off and on. So yes, it’s called "Turn off App & Website Activity".
