What is downtime contact. I really want this off all my contacts have it. I’m not interested in this . How to delete it on all my contacts. Thanks

This doesn't work. I have turned on specific contacts during downtime on my sons phone, but somehow he has managed to still be able to talk with friends after downtime is on. When I look up the list of who is on his allowed contacts during downtime it says mom and dad yet he is still able to communicate with friends. The setting does not work.

How do I remove downtime contact on my phone?

Hi Heavensway,

You may be referring to the Downtime component of Screen Time, further described in the support article Set up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone:

"Turn on downtime on demand

During downtime, only calls, messages, and apps you choose to allow are available. You can receive calls from contacts you’ve selected to allow communication with during downtime, and you can use apps you’ve chosen to allow at all times.

When you turn on downtime on demand, a five-minute reminder is sent before downtime is turned on. It stays on until the end of the day, or until the beginning of your scheduled downtime, if you’ve scheduled it.

1. Go to Settings  > Screen Time, then turn on Screen Time if you haven’t already.
2. Tap Downtime, then tap Turn On Downtime Until Tomorrow, or Turn On Downtime Until Schedule (if Scheduled is turned on).
3. To turn off downtime on demand, tap Turn Off Downtime.

Note: You can also turn on downtime on demand for a family member, either directly on their device, or through Family Sharing on your device."

You can use those instructions to turn this feature on or off as needed.

Regards.
