Screen time restrictions for kids not working Help the screen time restrictions is not working. My kid can now freely be on apps without limit. It used to work fine. I tried resetting the screen time password and setting up limits multiple times.

Childs phone bypassing screentime limits Any app that is currently in downtime that opens via links, like X or Discord can easily be bypassed. If they are on youtube or another app that has a link to these apps in it, after clicking it will open it in Safari (Which is not enabled on the phone and cannot be opened directly), and within the opened Safari page they can then click login and browse X or discord fully without restrictions. This is a huge oversight and effectively makes screentime completely unreliable. I have screenshots and can easily duplicate it.

An app clip is a usable preview of an application. They can be found on websites or physical buildings (via QR Codes). If you don’t want your child to be able to preview these apps, you can disable access to App Clips in content restrictions. Personally, I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about.
