Family screen limits

I have set both screen downtime and app limits on my daughters phone and have read other posts around selecting block at downtime which I had already done.


despite this my daughter is still able to access Snapchat TikTok and instagram even when downtime is activated and after exceeding app limits.


this is strange as all other apps show as blocked during downtime but these apps are always showing as available.


any help would be gratefully received


thanks

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities seaton1717,


You can set limitations for a child's device, including limits on how long specific apps are used, with the following steps:


Set downtime and app limits on a family member’s device
1: On your family member’s device, go to Settings  > Screen Time.
2: Tap Turn On Screen Time, tap Continue, then tap This is My Child’s iPhone.
3: To schedule downtime for your family member (time away from the screen), enter the start and end times, then tap Set Downtime.
4: To set limits for categories of apps you want to manage for your family member (for example, Games or Social Networking), select the categories.
To see all the categories, tap Show All Categories.
5: Tap Set, enter an amount of time, then tap Set App Limit.
6: Tap Continue, then enter a Screen Time passcode for managing your family member’s Screen Time settings.
Note: You can also turn on downtime on demand for a family member, either directly on their device, or through Family Sharing on your device (if you’ve set up Family Sharing).
If your child requests more screen time, you can approve or decline the request in Settings > Screen Time or in Messages.

We hope this helps!
