Friend Screen Time Feature Request
Hi y’all,
I've been trying to find out how I could use Apple’s screen time functionality to regain more control of my time being consumed on my phone and different applications. Current a couple good friends have set up each other’s screen time codes to help each other better reach our goals regarding tech and content access but this feels very much like an ad hoc approach.
I don’t know about y’all, but I’d love to have a dedicated app/interface/functionality to partner with friends like this. Apple, could we get something like this in the works?
Like, features like the following would be amazing:
- set limits for myself and grant control to a couple trusted peers / contacts
- request time extensions for certain apps to be approved remotely by said trusted peers
- request new apps / websites be added to / removed from similar classes of screen time access / restriction with peer approval
- have screen time report shared with trusted peers for further conversation about pursuing our goals together
This sort of functionality would be a great aid to me and many of my friends as we try to regain control of our media consumption and device time. Please consider implementing these ideas in upcoming iOS updates and versions ❤️
