Child bypassing screen time using add account Gmail in settings

Kids are bypassing screen time by using this workaround


go to settings and get where you can add a mail account. Tap choose from list then choose Google. It'll bring you to the accounts.google.com thing now go to the bottom hit privacy and it'll bring you to the privacy page. Tap the 9 dots then search for whatever website you want to use.


In the screen time usage it appears as "Settings". There's no way to block settings app.


The only fix I found is to disable the ability for my child to add accounts.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26
