Parental Screen Time

My daughter has 125 contacts on her iphone 11. I use the parental control features through screen time. For some reason, I can only see 57 contacts. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Hi there Bosco2323,


The issue is most likely related to what contacts you have allowed. You can choose allowed contacts with the guidance below:


Choose apps and contacts to allow at all times
You can specify apps that can be used and contacts you can communicate with at all times—for example, in the event of an emergency—even during downtime.
1. Go to Settings  > Screen Time > Always Allowed.
2. Below Allowed Apps, tap  or  next to an app to add or remove it from the Allowed Apps list.
3. To specify contacts you want to allow communication with, tap Contacts.
4. The option you selected in Communication Limits appears here. You can change this setting to Specific Contacts, then choose one of the following:
* Choose From My Contacts: To select specific people to allow communication with.
* Add New Contact: To add a new contact and allow communication with that person.
7. Tap the Back button at the top left.

Take care.
