Instagram Excluded from Screen Time Limits When trying to limit a child user's screen time, I selected "All Apps & Categories" (Settings>Screen Time>App Limits>Add Limit). However, once the daily limit was reached, Instagram remained accessible. Does Apple have some special contract with Meta to let Instagram bypass Sceen Time Limits? Why else will this not function properly?

Screen Time limit is not working for few apps on my child's iPhone Hi all, I have been struggling with time limit for a couple of apps only on my kid phone. everything is properly set as it works for all apps excepting Brawl Stars and YouTube.

Hello macmza,

It is highly likely Instagram is considered a Social app. In your screenshot, you can see the arrow at the far right. If you select it, do additional options appear? Or, if you select Social, are you able to set limits that impact Instagram?
