Ignore Screen Time Limits

I have screen time limits on my kids’ phones protected by a password they do not know. “Block at Downtown” is toggled. They have to ask permission to add or delete apps. Yet sometimes when they ask for 1 more minute they get a message that says “Ignore screen limit”. Why?? How?? How can I change this??

What should I do if my child bypasses Screen Time restrictions? my daughter is using my device to approve request for more screen time all day. After she has done this there does not appear to be a way to block the requested app for the rest of the day. How do I stop this? for instance, I set a 1hr app limit for Tock Tock from my phone, with secret passcode and block at downtime toggled. When she reaches that limit, and I am not around, she request for all day access, then grabs my device and approves it. When I see later that she has access past her limit there appears to be nothing I can do to block it again. Or is their? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Recurring, unwanted Screen Time limits on iPhone i use screen time to limit my kids use of certain apps. However, it’s been a glitchy mess for over a year now. Constantly adds a bunch of limits that I didn’t add, I delete them, adds them again, etc. my two options are to let my kids go without limits (hello 10 hrs a day on TikTok) or can’t use anything.

Stop the ability to ‘ignore limit’ on screen time. Both of my daughters are able to ignore the limits I have set on their screen time. So far I have: checked that the ‘block at downtime’ is selected on all devices and within eat setting checked that the ‘block at limit’ is selected on all devices checked everyone is running the most up to date IOS turned all the phones off and back on again checked no relevant apps are on the always allowed list I don’t understand why this option exsists. You set a limit for a reason and this should not be able to be ignored by the children in the set up. Has anyone managed to find a permanent fix to this problem? Any help much appreciated. Many thanks

I presume you are referring to Screen Time Restrictions for your Child using Parental Control.

I am not clear how you set Parental Control for your Child.

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory.

It is not clear whether you are setting Screen Time Passcode for your device or your daughter's Screen Time Passcode through your device.
