Ever since the IOS 26 update, screentime on apps like google chrome now block you from visiting websites on that app. Is this a bug? It also blocks advertisements as well saying you need access to the site.

Bugs in Screentime Please fix the screentime function. Whenever I check my child's screentime status, I find the “Block at End of Limit” button turned off. I have also noticed that the web content selection has an issue, which sometimes adds previously or currently restricted websites to the “always allowed:”. But before anyone highlights the commonly suggested fixes, I have tried all of them. I truly believe that there is a bug and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Allow all websites with screen time on iPhone I use screen time to limit my work applications to send notifications when I'm not working. I have added all other apps to always be allowed except the work apps. But I can't find a way to add safari to my whitelist so every website I visit will restricted. Is there any way to allow safari and all websites

It’s because all browsers on iOS use the same webkit engine, and thus screen time restrictions will work the same way on all browser.
