I'm looking at the list of "always allowed" apps to include for the Downtime feature but Safari is not listed there and when downtime is enabled Safari is still able to be used (my allowed apps are phone, messages, FaceTime, maps - the default). Anyone else seeing this issue?
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
Seriously fix this issue Apple. Down time is down time right. The entire concept of down time is shut off phone activity. Safari is about as active as you can get on a phone. As parents it’s frustrating when a company decides they will allow certain activity that a parent wishes to restrict. If I want my child using safari during downtime then I can turn it on.... not you Apple! Make down time so the entire phone can be shut down if I want.
I have FaceTime disabled in screen time but my daughter is still able to FaceTime in the phone app. How can I stop that?
I’m having the same problem. Infuriating that I have to “request” more time from myself with every new website I visit.
Yes not being able to block YouTube or safari make screen time controls useless. Great job 👍-1F3FB;
I’ve got the exact opposite problem. I can’t put safari into always allow, so I have to re-authorize every single webpage I visit if I want to look something up.
Thx, this did the job :)
I guess Apple is has happy as my kids with this solution hihi.
It seems crazy that in order for Screen Time to work properly you have to use a non-Apple browser.
And I can’t get Screen Time to block the YouTube app, either.
Thanks for the workaround.
My kid for and XR for Christmas. I set up screen time and expected that the internet would be disabled. I was wrong. Screw time is useless until Apple fixes this problem.
I’m afraid that’s not the case on the phone I have with iOS 12.1.2. I think still some work is needed. The same goes for the password change that I’m not able to find.
Crazy. Apple should simply fix it.
Great, appreciate your time
JamesMCook, For an inelegant workaround, you could download the Chrome browser and let your kids use that instead of Safari.
Thank you, appreciated
Nope. My kid can still access all of safari and watch YouTube videos using safari. I just tested it.
