Family sharing

I have family sharing enabled on my son's iphone but he has managed to change the passcode and turn off location services even though both of these are set to not allowed - how is he able to do this?

Hey Kme12,

So this sounds like Screen Time. In this case, it sounds like the passcode was found out. You may want to choose a different Screen Time passcode and make sure no one knows the passcode. You can read more about settings a Screen Time passcode here:

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care

Hi there Kme12,

We'd like to learn more to see how we can help. Are you referring to Screen Time rather than Family Sharing? You'll want to be sure you follow the steps in the support article below to set up Screen Time with a passcode only you know: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care.
