How can I effectively limit Screen Time on my child's iPhone using an Android phone?

Any have a good parent control app to limit screen time etc on my kids iPhone. My main difficulty is I use an android phone. The apps I have found are limited by Apple. The parents controls on iPhone are poor and you have to use an iPad or iPhone.

Screen time limitations not working My child is using iPhone 13 mini with latest iOS update. Parental controls are in use, I have limited installing and removing apps, purchases, some content, etc. But most important thing is that I have limited screen time. Parental controls and screen time limitations are surprisingly poorly designed for an Apple product. But now, for some reason, screen time limitations have stopped working completely. In the settings (visible from my phone and also from my child´s phone) screen time has been limited to 1hr per day for all apps. Phone and messages apps are allowed without limitations. With these limitations in use, my child can use apps beyond the limited amount. For example, WhatsApp can be seen in the screen time menu. If I open the WhatsApp from the most used list, there can be seen that the limit is 1hr per day. Still the app can be used without limitation. For example today, the app has been in use for 2hrs now. So now this feature is useless. How can I limit phone use for my child? It is important for him to have the phone and be able to use it. But for me, it is not possible to control the amount he is using it by taking the phone away always.

Screen Time removing app limits I have my daughter (14) and son (12) under family sharing. I have screen time enabled on each of their iPhones, along with content restrictions on, and a passcode they do not know. Every few days, all the app limits I put in place (an hour on TikTok, Netflix, YouTube, etc) on the phones - sometimes both, sometimes just one - disappear. All that's left is the time restriction on the "games" category. Downtime still works, so do the content restrictions that prevent them from uninstalling and reinstalling apps, etc. This is an ongoing issue, no matter how current the updates are, how often I reboot, how often I change the screen time passcode. Any ideas on what is going on? So frustrated. Thank you...

Can I restrict my son going to iPhone Settings? Hello, my son is screen addicted, I have tried everything, Kidlock and Screen time. He has found some way how to hack it through Settings. I can see his Screen Time Statistic that he spends hours a day just on the Settings. I know how to restrict some applications but I don’t know how to restrict the Settings. Do you have an idea? Thank you very much!
