Snapchat is escaping screen time control on my kid’s phone. My kids can download it back even I set “Don’t Allowed” to “Installed Apps” under iTune and App Store Purchases on his phone. He can still use Snapchat even it’s not on the always allows list, and have been set time limit for 1 min only. Help! He is using iPhone 11 Pro Max and you am using iPhone 13 Pro Max. There are always problem recently with parent screen time controls.

Same here with Snapchat. I found a post from user Imgzz here that worked for me (and some other users): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253693869?answerId=257190498022&sortBy=best#257190498022
My suspicion is that SnapChat found a way to put itself on the 'allowed apps' list, but in an invisible way. It won't show up in the list. However, adding it to the list and then removing it seems to undo this. You may have to repeat this procedure every now and then (maybe when you see your child going over the limits again) - could be that Snap keeps on trying this or maybe it does it on installing the app - more tests required to find out what is happening here.
It’s not a solution, but I am glad that’s it’s not just me having this problem. I’ve tried everything I can think of and downtime and app limits have no impact on SnapChat.
I have exactly the same and my daughter is obsessed with Snapchat and it’s becoming a real problem.
i am looking into third party apps as I have tried everything.
has anyone had any luck?
I have same issue managing my daughter iphone 11 from iphone 12 pro max.
This is a health hazard that should be addressed by Apple
Same issues here, its a problem. I am convinced apple are letting child destroying apps avoid control on purpose, it drive their sales.
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue with Snapchat and TikTok. I can’t get any screentime to load on my phone so can’t do screenshots.
