Zwift Missing from "Always Allowed Apps" in Screen Time I have Screen Time activated on my son's iPhone 13 and it is missing the Zwift app as an option for "Always Allowed." I searched the forum and the only suggestion I've seen is to force close the Settings app and restart the devices. I've tried that on both his and mine, and it still does not show as an option. I've also tried deleting the app from his phone and reinstalling, and no change. The apps list stops at Y and does not continued to Z.

Limit specific apps at certain times of the day? I was wondering if it was possible to limit specific apps at certain times of the day? Using screen time app limits, I'm only able to limit the total amount of time I spend on each app (instead of *when* I spend time on it), and using downtime, it ends up limiting everything including all websites. So I was wondering if there was a way to do this using screen time on iOS/iPadOS and macOS, or if there are any alternative apps that would work better? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Childs phone bypassing screentime limits Any app that is currently in downtime that opens via links, like X or Discord can easily be bypassed. If they are on youtube or another app that has a link to these apps in it, after clicking it will open it in Safari (Which is not enabled on the phone and cannot be opened directly), and within the opened Safari page they can then click login and browse X or discord fully without restrictions. This is a huge oversight and effectively makes screentime completely unreliable. I have screenshots and can easily duplicate it.

Go to Settings > Screen Time and tap on Always Allowed. You can choose the app you would like to always allow by tapping "+" button next to app name and icon.
