My son is changing the time on his phone to bypass the screen time.

I read the previous article on how to disable this feature, by changing the “Setting Time Zone” and going back and select “Don’t Allow Changes” but it doesn’t seem to work on the IPhone 16. Can someone help me please?

Did you first go on that device at Settings > General > Date & Time, and turn on Set Time Zone Automatically?


The Screen Time restriction you turned on disables that option, but you must first make sure it is set to automatically set the Time Zone.
