Cannot disable child’s school time on her Apple Watch

Hello! I had set up school time on my daughters Apple Watch for the school year. With summer here I would like to disable it, however, it is not working. I have toggled the school time option to disabled but her watch is still locked on school time. We have restarted the watch and that didn’t fix the issue. I also tried modifying the old school time schedule to a custom schedule and turned each week day off, that also didn’t help. I know she can manually exit but that is cumbersome to keep doing throughout the day. Any suggestions?

Hi Llindley,


The first step in addressing your situation would be to ensure you turning this feature off on the iPhone that set up the device. The article Use Schooltime on Apple Watch outlines where those settings are found.


In that article it also mentions that Focus can be associated with Schooltime. Make sure that you do not have any stored Focus settings that use this function and remove or change those if so.


If this Apple Watch was set up using your iPhone for a family member per Set up a family member’s Apple Watch confirm that you do not have Screen Time restrictions enabled for their devices that may prevent setting changes.


Regards.
