Roblox not greyed out when screen time/downtime is activated.

I have tried restarting the iPad, deleted Roblox and reinstalled. Deleted parental controls and added them again, but nothing is working . The app works all day by passing the screen time and downtime command. Other apps all work fine with downtime. Need help!

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 17

Childs phone bypassing screentime limits Any app that is currently in downtime that opens via links, like X or Discord can easily be bypassed. If they are on youtube or another app that has a link to these apps in it, after clicking it will open it in Safari (Which is not enabled on the phone and cannot be opened directly), and within the opened Safari page they can then click login and browse X or discord fully without restrictions. This is a huge oversight and effectively makes screentime completely unreliable. I have screenshots and can easily duplicate it.

Screentime/parental control not working Parental Controls do not work and kids bypass screen restrictions. This has been happening for a year. Is there a fix, or are we waiting for the Apple show to stumble upon a solution and we just let our kids have full throttle access to everything. Has anyone found a solution that doesn’t involve deleting everything from everywhere and resetting it back up? Did that earlier in year and it did not work. Is Apple going to fix this glitch, or should we just assume Apple has no parental controls that work anymore. How hard is it to restrict screen access and screen time for kids? It worked fine up until an iOS update killed the entire system.

Screen Time Limit Loopholes So, I have quite a bit of experience with breaking screen time limits, and it surprises me how many different methods you can access content on complete downtime. I'm sure there may be a plethora of other ways to break it, but downloading files seems completely untouched. Downloading .mp4 videos can actually be done with some searchable youtube to mp4 websites (can be blocked, but 1 more minute breaks it) Well, Apple did think of blocking .mp4 files in the Files app (congratulations). However, it isn't blocked like this through two methods: Shortcuts has features called "Select Files" and "Quick look"/"Show result". If you link these up, you get unblocked .mp4 files completely free to watch. This is slightly complicated since Siri and Shortcuts can be blocked in Downtime, but however the Home Screen Shortcuts Apps aren't. Safari Download tab can be utilised by doing the downloading mp4 method, then immediately watching them in the download tab with no restraints. But, nobody is going to see this, are they.
