Screen Time not syncing

I've updated my device as well as my kids devices to iOS 12. When I log into Screen time on my kid's iPhone, I set the time restrictions and it does not sync when I access the screen time app from my phone and vice versa, if I update the time via my phone to my kids, it doesn't update on his phone. Any suggestions?

Hi welafever, thanks for that link -- unfortunately I've read that and the associated pages and I'm still not getting anywhere.


I think it's some kind of bug. My phone thinks my daughter has only used her phone for 1 minute this week, which I know to not be the case. I think it might have something to do with my having entered a Screen Time passcode for her phone on my phone, as it seemed to stop working around the same time that I set that.


Big Jay and the 6 other people who have had this problem: are you guys using a passcode on your kids' devices for Screen Time?
