Kids get around screentime with timezone change

Kids get around screentime with timezone change. Heavily reported and Well known to Apple… Apple refuses to fix this by allowing parents to block changes in family share feature. Nice job Apple. Family share is a joke to Apple and parents need to know this and switch to android.

No need to switch to Android.


Did you disable changes to Time zones in Settings / Screen Time/ Content & Privacy Restrictions > Location Services? Under System Services, ensure Time Zone is enabled.

Location services/system services doesn’t exist there anymore. I have the most up to date iOS and nothing there. I’ve seen people recommend that in this community but every reply is the same as mine. No way to stop this as there is no option at all there or anywhere in the screentime settings/family share. So disappointing. I don’t want my kids using iphones anymore unless there is some way to fix this. sounds like there are many overrides. Doesn’t seem like a very well thought out feature unfortunately.
