How do we prevent a child adjusting their time zone to avoid parental controls, specifically downtime?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 14 Plus
Under settings > screen time > content & privacy restrictions > there is no "Location Services" option. On both my phone and computer the option is "Privacy / Share my location (allow/don't allow)". That's the only reference to location on that page that I can see when managing screen time for my children. Please provide additional guidance to what you have provided above. Apple has an extreme responsibility for the mental health of children and it is imperative that you work on proper working controls. The app is very buggy and hard to manage and fails to live up to Apple's promise to take proper and reasonable steps for the protection of children and teen mental health.
I am finding the same issue. I cannot stop my son from changing the date and time.
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".
Has it stayed greyed out? I thought I had it working properly and then a few hours later my child was able to change it again. Any help would be amazing! It’s been a struggle!
This finally worked for me too. Thank you!
This worked!! Thank you! I tried everything else until you came along. Very grateful
This worked for me. Thank you!
Do I do that sequence on child’s phone?
This didn't work for me. I did the above steps from my childs device. Please help!
This workeddd!!
Why can’t apple just come up with a proper way of stopping this by adding it in the screentime options, seems to me that they purposely leave loopholes like this
I tried it but the setting Time zone is greyed out but my child can still change the date and time meaning that he can still go over the limit. Help
Agree! The cell devices that supposedly have parental controls, but they don’t work. Irresponsible.
Thanks for sharing this. I have made these changes and will keep an eye for few days on her usage.
