Screen time + Snapchat

I cannot control my son’s usage of Snapchat, despite setting a limit in App Limits. It makes no difference if I set an individual limit for Snapchat, whether I set a limit for Social Media, whether I set a generic use limit for all apps, or any combination of the above. He can also use it during Downtime or at least it doesn’t stop working when Downtime begins.

Given the addictiveness of this app, this is not a satisfactory situation for us.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16
