In communications limits on my iphone 14, the During Downtime has two options, everyone and specific contacts.


I set the choice to specific contacts, but when I come back to check the settings it has reverted back to everyone!!?? Help

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Clay5757,


Complete the following steps, in order:


1: If you haven’t already turned on Contacts in iCloud, go to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.

2: Go to Settings  > Screen Time, then turn on Screen Time if you haven’t already.

3: Tap Communication Limits, tap During Screen Time, then select one of the following for communication at all times (other than downtime):

• Contacts Only: To allow communication only with your contacts.

• Contacts & Groups with at Least One Contact: To allow one-on-one conversations only with people in your contacts and group conversations that include at least one person in your contacts.

• Everyone: To allow conversations with anyone, including unknown numbers.

4: Tap Back at the top left, then tap During Downtime.

The option you selected for During Screen Time is already set here. You can change this setting to Specific Contacts, then choose one of the following:

• Choose From My Contacts: To select contacts to allow communication with during Downtime.

• Add New Contact: To add a person to your contacts and allow communication with that person during downtime.

Set up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone


Take care!
