YouTube not being blocked by screen time

I have tried everything that comes up on Google to rectify this issue, but YouTube is constantly available to my son.

It’s available before and after screen time has stopped all other apps, there is never a time limit even though I have set it at 45min per day.

screen time works for every other app.

i have re-set both phones and that’s not worked either.

anyone got any suggestions?

please!!!


iPhone SE, iOS 16

You should pay attention to two commonly overlooked aspects...


  1. Configuring device restrictions for your child's device.
  2. Setting up a screen time passcode on your own device for your child.



Set Screen Time Restrictions for your Child in your Family using Parental Control.


Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory.
