iPhone Screen time keeps auto resetting

App limits and downtime on kids phones auto reset, so we spend 30 min daily setting up again.

Yes, Apple, have already followed all advice given here, changing password often etc. it does not work.

Screen Time is not working properly in iPhone I have set up screen time limits for my two teens and the settings worked for a while. Their phones would shut down when they were supposed to and they couldn't access restricted apps and websites. Now, no matter what I do, change the passcode, reset limits, etc. the phones don't shut down or block restricted apps or websites. It is so frustrating! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Iphone screentime resets itself repeatedly!! Has there been a solution to this problem? An Apple expert could provide the answer. I have the same problem like many others with my own kids phones. Been for several months already. I set the screen time on in my child iphone and adjust the settings, for example, application usage times and blocking for Adult entertainment pages. But repeatedly I notice the screen time restrictions go off. Next day or next week. I always change the password when I notice this, but I really don't think my children are smart and patient enough to figure out the pin code every time. this week alone I have had to activate the settings several times already. Why doesn't this screen time setting stay on and PLEASE tell me what should I do keep it on.

Screen time settings dropping Since upgrading to iPhone 14 screen time settings keep dropping. I set up downtime and app limits on my kids devices and within a few hours they are gone. I’ve tried ever fix I can find. I’ve changed the passcode 4 times. Is this a known problem or is something else going on?

Thanks, but this is not the issue. I have already set up everything - and it works - but then auto turns off every day.

Hi everyone, surprised there is no solution to this - have parents just given up or moved to Android? Must be really easy to fix this.
