Screen freezing when accessing Screen Time settings on iPhone Im trying to control my son’s screen time. Every time I go into my settings click his name and click usage and parental controls, it freezes. The screen doesn’t even want to move up or down. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? Both phones are updated. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How do I fix screen time settings freezing on iPhone 13 after update 18.3.11? Ever since the update I have difficulty managing screen time for my kids iPad. Whenever I go to the screen time settings on my iPhone (13) it freezes. I’ve tried turning the phone off and on again, sometimes twice, I’ve also made sure the iPad OS is updated . Frustrating cos I can’t turn stuff off when I want. Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 14 Screen Time settings crash after iOS 18.3.1 update Since upgrading to 18.3.1 on an iPhone 14, whenever I go to look at my family and adjust screen time for my son the Settings app locks and restarts. It seems to be locking the processor as well, as other apps function incredibly slowly until the settings program seems to crash (~30 seconds). This happens whether I try to open screen time on my phone or on his iPhone 14. It now seems to be impossible to set any application as an always allow. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Same with mine. This started happening after the latest update.

Same with me. Is there a fix for this. I depend on my family controls.
