How can I effectively manage Screen Time on my child's iPhone?

My child can still ignore time limit on apps and access content despite block at downtime toggle enabled.

This has been questioned since at least 2018 and it still isn’t resolved. Both my sons have exactly the same settings for apps and downtime. Both have SE phones. One has to ask for extra time and be approved. The other (who I’m more worried about anyway) never asks. I’ve just discovered again that he can choose the ‘ignore limit’ not just for a minute like previously but now ‘all day’.

with all the concerns about access to content why does this happen still?

Should I just dump Apple and get android instead? For the whole family as I have Apple too. I am not happy and my son has obviously been staying up and using his phone, I realise why now.

in addition his total screen time is wrong. Says average 2-22mins but he’s been on WhatsApp calls and YouTube longer than that every day.

Is there some sort of way around they will have got off the internet?

Yes the block at downtime is enabled for each limited app, and the phone access in general.
