Guardian managing my screen time, but the guardian has iOS 27, and my phone has iOS 18, Will the redesigned screen time UI and new features set from the guardian’s iOS 27 iPhone apply to an iOS 18 phone? Or will it just show the old screen time settings that applies to my iPhone?
(NOT EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY HAS iOS 27 DEVICES, There are also some devices that has been dropped from software updates)
iPhone 11, iOS 18
Hello! that is a good question. It is required that organizer/guardian and child account has iOS 27 to use the new features, if the Guardian has iOS 27 and managed account iOS 18, the feature won't appear or work ( it shouldn't appear) .
you normally need to go to Settings > family > select the child account and you can see the options, for child with iOS 18, it should show the old Screen Time OR if the new screen time appears, the new features won't work for the child. for example: Block features or content with Screen Time on iPhone - Apple Support (OM)
The best option to know this is by checking from the guardian! you can tell me if this is true or not
Thanks!
Will iOS 27 Screen Time features apply to an iOS 18 iPhone?
