Block changing date and time in Screen Time in iOS 18?

How can I block changing the date and time through Screen Time for a minor in iOS 18?

I’ve been looking for the menu/option but can’t find it. Without this option, any app blocked through Screen Time can be bypassed if the user changes the date and time. Previously, the option was located under Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Changes > Date & Time, but now I can’t find it anywhere along that path. Or; Where can I find that option?

The option "Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Changes > Date & Time" has never existed. However, there is an effective way to prevent changes to the date and time settings on your device.

When you enable a Screen Time passcode, it automatically disables the "Set Automatically" option for date and time settings, graying it out. To change the date and time, you will need to turn off the Screen Time passcode, which requires knowing the current Screen Time passcode.

In summary, enabling the Screen Time passcode serves as a security measure to prevent unauthorized changes to the date and time settings on your device.
