screen time wont stop syncing

I want to have some content and privacy restrictions enabled on an iPhone, but not the Mac or iPad signed into the same iCloud account. Even if I turn off 'share across devices', the screen time settings still sync and I cant have separate setups for each device. Help please?

Yes, that is my problem, however, I have already tried that solution. is there some system file (i.e.: .plist, .app, etc) in my Mac Library folder I can delete to reset screen time syncing?

Hey ZacisBac,


To clarify, settings you've set up for your iPhone are syncing unexpectedly to other devices?


If so, ensure on the iPhone that Share Across Devices is turned off under Settings > Screen Time. It specifically needs to be disabled on iPhone.


If it is and the issue persists, try toggling that feature off across all of your devices, then check if restrictions still sync unexpectedly.


If they do, contact Apple Support for assistance.


Take care.
