Screen Time Bypass via FaceTime on iOS

There is an obscure glitch that my kids discovered, can anyone confirm?

Once apps are locked by screen time, if a FaceTime call is made or received and the screen sharing and screen control function is used on that call, when the call terminates, all the apps locked by screen time become unlocked.

I have been able to duplicate this multiple times.

PS I was just alerted that this hack is circulating on social media, hopefully Apple developers are patching this.

The behavior described in the paragraph is not a standard feature or intended behavior of Screen Time on iPhones. Screen Time is designed to provide robust parental controls, including app limits, downtime, and content restrictions. Apple has implemented these measures to ensure that they are not easily bypassed.
