Parental Screen Time Controls / content Restrictions turning off

April 2023

The Screen Time settings and especially the content & privacy restrictions keep resetting, turning off ALL of the restrictions for All of my kids phones and their iPads.

The content & privacy restrictions turn off WITHOUT the screen time password being entered. They turn off EVERY TIME their phone or phone pad is turned off and turned back on again.

All their devices are updated. Everything is shared across all devices linked to their iCloud account. We’re all under one family. There’s no reason for this.

why does this keep happening?? This is the reason we got iPads and iPhones instead of their cheaper counterparts.

I am considering switching them all to android’s because I hear they don’t have any issues with restrictions.

I appreciate you answering.

However, this was not a helpful answer to me.

I know how to set restrictions probably better than anyone because I’ve been doing it for years now.

It’s only been in the past couple months to a year that the screen time restrictions just TURN OFF entirely for no reason.

THEY DON’T WORK ANYMORE and I’ve looked it up and I’m not the only one experiencing this.

What is the issue?
