iOS 27 parental control new features not showing up. Cannot update controlled child accounts, and the entire screen time is exactly the same as iOS 26.
iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 27
That usually means the family hasn’t been moved to the iOS 27 parental controls yet.
Apple says every device in the Family Sharing group has to be on version 27 or later before the redesigned Screen Time controls become available. Check Settings > Family > View Family Devices and see whether anything still needs updating.
Once everything is updated, go back to Settings > Family. The family organizer or parent/guardian should see Get Started to review and update the existing parental controls.
If even one device can’t be updated, Apple says the family can continue using the older iOS 26-style Screen Time controls instead.
Tried everything with apple support. Even removed my apple vision pro on Beta build; did not work. After 1 hour, I'm still stuck, same old screen time.
Thank you so much!! I was pulling my hair out, having updated everything to no avail. But accessing it through my husbands phone finally worked. After 2 days of frustration. Thank you again!!!!
How can they roll out something this poorly… unbelievable…
Do you know what they did so we know what to ask for specifically when on the phone?
I know it won't help much, but without doing anything on my side, the new parental control suddenly activated today (after almost a month with all my devices on OS27).
No idea what triggered it.
This is incredibly unfortunate. Apple. Get with it.
