phone making less screen time

Well, my phone has a certain screen time. My phone sent me a notification and somewhat later I have less screen time. This is becoming a problem because it is affecting me and my mother has not even touched the screen time since this is getting really annoying and I’m really starting to not wanna have an Apple phone.

Hi averi147,

welcome to the pple (user-to-user) Community!


Re: "My phone sent me a notification and somewhat later I have less screen time".


Wondering what the notification said, before the screen time changed.

and

which iPhone model you use, and, which iOS version is installed.


ScreenTime use may be completely controlled by yourself, unless there are parental control in place.

See: how to: Use Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If parental controls are in place, you may need to ask a parent for help, as only the person with the password can make changes:

If Family Sharing is used: Set up parental controls with Family Sharing on iPhone - Apple Support

or

See how to: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


Hope this helps you find the satisfactory settings you would like to use for ScreenTime.
