How do I prevent FaceTime from bypassing Screen Time on iPhone?

FaceTime used to bypass screentime. It is all over SoMe and my kids were on their phones way past curfew. Thankfully I spotted this in their usage but it could have gone on for a while. This has been around for a couple of months. Fix it!!

Turn off FaceTime at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > FaceTime. FaceTime allows a person to share a screen of another phone and if your kids are doing that to disobey your clear instructions, they do not deserve to use FaceTime at all.
