Screen time

Can I set separate screen time limits per device using the same appleID? For example a phone different from a laptop?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

I believe it is one set of settings per Apple ID. You would have to set up each device with its own ID.

Set different screen time limits for different Apple devices under the same Apple ID I was wondering if you were able to set up Screen Time features in a way that would allow me to have different limits for my son’s iPad and iPhone, as I would like to set limits on certain apps and time usage on the iPhone that I would not like to have on the iPad. I wasn’t able to find this by myself online, and it seems like the only alternative possible is to create two different Apple IDs for each device, which (if I’m correct) wouldn’t let my son sync things like Messages, Photos, FaceTime, and more across devices. If any of this is wrong, please let me know what I can do to make this work, or provide me with alternatives to the one described above. Thanks!

Screen time widget shows all devices data The screen time widget is showing the screen time for all devices instead of just the phone's screen time. I have already went to settings and turned off share to other devices toggle. Doing that fixed the Mac's screen time widget, it's now showing only Mac's screen time. But iPhone's widget still shows iPhone's + Mac's data.
