Screen time Limit can be ignored by child

I have 2 children set-up under family with screen time limits.

Since my daughter has a new phone, her screen time allows her to “ignore limit” and click to ignore it “all day” and this have unlimited access.

this has enabled her to be up late at night on her phone.

I checked all settings and they are all the same as her brother.

this is a huge issue as it means none of the safety features for her are working. I’ve also read on other threads this has happened to other parents and no response from apple.

YES I have it setup to BLOCK at downtime. I have turned on/off devices.

nothing works :( so parents don’t realise some kids are not safe

Hello Bianca_Jade_Oz,


We'd be happy to help. If Downtime and Block At Downtime are enabled, you may need to contact Apple Support for help with this issue. You can learn more about setting up Screen Time here: Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPhone - Apple Support


Have you checked the birth date associated with her Apple ID? Making sure that the correct birth date is used can impact features and settings. Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID - Apple Support
