Control over screen time for multiple devices for each kid via the parent's phone

When I set up the screen time I feel a difference between a single and multiple devices for a kid. With a single device I can either control screen time from my phone or their phone. I can also approve screen time requests from both. But when my kid gets an additional device, I can only control one of them. For example, I had control over the iPad, but when my son got an iPhone and logged in with his profile, I no longer get screen time requests and I have to approve them directly on the iPhone instead on my phone. I can also only monitor the stats on my phone for one of the devices (the iPad, i.e. the first one).

Is there a way to set up control over multiple devices via the parent's phone?

iPad Air, iOS 12

Hello morten268,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities!


Just to clarify, you're not getting the notifications for the new iPhone is that right?


Do you see those requests if you look for them in Settings > Screen Time > (Childs name)?


If not, could you try temporarily toggling off the notification settings and toggle them back on in Settings > Notifications > Screen Time?


This will help get a better sense of what may be causing this.


Cheers!
