Kids screen time

Hello Imex99,

Have you been able to confirm that they don't know the Screen Time passcode or have access to an adult device from where they can change their settings?

Additionally, are you seeing just the time limits not working, or was the entirety of Screen Time turning off and requiring you to set it back up? For example, these steps:

1. On your family member’s device, go to Settings  > Screen Time.
2. Tap Turn On Screen Time, tap Continue, then tap This is My Child’s iPhone.

Thanks!

Hi Imex99,

There was an iOS and iPadOS 16 update the other day to 16.1.1. If you haven't updated all devices yet, let's do that next. It's always best to keep devices updated, especially when we're dealing with an unexpected issue.

1. You'll want to make sure the kids and your device have current backups first, to protect your personal data.

2. Then update each of you devices.

3. Verify that Screen Time is shown for each child at Settings > Screen Time > Scroll down to Family > Select each child to verify again

Here is the Screen Time set up info, in case you wanted to review anything:

If you're still having the same issue, the next step is to contact Apple Support, so they can look into this further with you.

All the best.
