Apps not blocked during downtime

I have downtime scheduled for my kids. Yet both of them can still access YouTube and Roblox via the app during this time. I also have time restrictions enabled. But this doesn’t help when they wake up and play their tablets at 8am but are supposed to be blocked until 11am

iPhone 14, iOS 17

Apps available even though restricted in Screen Time On my daughter's iPhone I've got what I think most parents have, a setup with Downtime, some Always Allowed apps and some apps with App Limits. My problem is that two of the apps that are supposed to have App Limits and then unavailable during Downtime appear as if they're Always Allowed. I've tried adding the apps to the Always Allowed apps then removing them, I've removed and added back App Limits for the apps, yet they are still available. How can that be? How can I reintroduce restrictions without going nuclear and taking the phone away from her? The apps in question are Snapchat and TikTok.

Kids - Screen time restrictions issues Kids get past "don't allow" delete/download restrictions Hi. My kids are getting past the screen time "don't allow" apps to be downloaded/deleted restrictions by deleting and downloading YouTube and Brawlstars so that resets their screen time for that app each time they do it. How can we restrict kids from deleting and redownloading apps like YouTube and Brawlstars? Please help. They learned this from other kids so this is a big issue with Apple screentime!
