How can I prevent kids from disabling iPhone Screen Time settings? In my daughter‘s profile, which I can access through my settings under screen time, I will choose a limit. She is then able to go back into her phone and turn it off. What is the point of having it if, if she can turn it off 3 seconds later? Is the problem that she is now over 13 so that’s been disabled? Thanks in advance! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Time is not working properly in iPhone I have set up screen time limits for my two teens and the settings worked for a while. Their phones would shut down when they were supposed to and they couldn't access restricted apps and websites. Now, no matter what I do, change the passcode, reset limits, etc. the phones don't shut down or block restricted apps or websites. It is so frustrating! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Time not working as expected on daughter's iPhone Anyone know why screen time doesn't lock my daughters phone at the times set and limit the app to the times I've allowed? It's like Apple don't want to support us with kids wellbeing! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hello,

Change the screen time passcode to one that the teenager doesn't know about and a hard one to guests.

Have a great day,

I have already done that.
