Custom Screen Time approval options for child requests?

I do not see any other options in Respond to a child’s Screen Time request on iPhone - Apple Support

Suggest it to Apple. Click on this link for Apple products feedback links --> Product Feedback - Apple

Apple may not respond but your comment will be read.

That is the best way to make suggestions to Apple since they only read this forum for moderation purposes. I wouldn't expect an immediate reply (I have never received one), but maybe in some future release it may appear.

Take it from a father who’s been attempting to actively manage his kids’ screen time settings for over five years. Kids figure out how to outsmart the screen time settings by about the time they enter the fifth or sixth grade.

The ONLY thing that works is to manually shut down and turn on all apps each day at a time that you must remember to do yourself. If you have more than one child, this becomes a very time consuming endeavor each day.

Many of the other settings are easily circumventable and a smart, motivated kid will research this until they find a way to circumvent them.

If Apple wanted to help us, they might consider adding a clock/timer feature directly to the “Apps - Don’t Allow” toggle button under the Content and Privacy Restrictions tab so we don’t have to manually toggle it on and off each day, 365 days a year, at different times of the day, twice a day (Allow/Don’t Allow) for each child based on week day, age, disciplinary considerations, etc. (This is in addition to the ‘Downtime’ timer, which kids invariably find a way to override.)

Again, the only fail safe way to manage a kid’s access to their apps is to do it using the Allowed Media Services Content feature within the App Store, Media, Web, & Games setting. And this gets exhausting quickly. The kids are constantly texting me ‘Please turn on my apps.’ Ugh.

I don’t have a high opinion of the Apple screen time feature as it relates to children. I would encourage them to redesign that part of it. Thanks and good luck!
