Why aren't my Screen Time notifications working after iOS 18.4 update?

Hi me and my daughter updated our iPhones to the latest 18.4. She is using iPhone 12pro and myself on 16 pro. Things were working fine as she works request time and I used to get notification to allow /not allow extra time requests. Since the upgrade , notifications of her request have stopped . When she request time , she gets the message that notification has been sent to the parent and awaiting approval when I don’t receive any notification of her requests. Just wondering if anyone else facing the same issue and what apple is doing this issued. The whole screen time feature could do with an upgrade too as it also doesn’t allow multiple idowntime during the day . Currently Only have downtime for while day. Regards

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
