Parental Controls / Screen Time not working

I am having an issue where when I try to go into my daughters screen time through my phone settings, the tab freezes and wont let me enter. I am trying to set up downtime so that the only thing she can do during downtime is text or call me.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

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 unresponsive Screen Time on iPhone? I can no longer manage my daughter’s screen time using the Apple Family as her screen time page is now unresponsive.

Parental controls on my iPhone 14 Pro hang after updating to iOS 18.3.2 Hey all! I use parental controls to restrict my kiddo’s usage on their iPad. After the latest update, I intermittently cannot enter the Screen time settings for my kid’s profiles from my iPhone. Steps to reproduce iPhone: Settings -> Family -> Evie (child’s name) -> Screen time. Tapping the “Screen Time” menu causes the Settings app to freeze and be unresponsive. The app ultimately crashes. If I enter the Screen Time settings on their iPad, then attempt to access the Screen Time settings on my iPhone, it will work. This seems to be some sort of connectivity bug in parental controls with iOS 18.3.2 on my iPhone and 18.3.2 on their iPad. Has anyone else experienced this issue? It always seems to occur when we first come home, and the iPads reconnect to our home WiFi. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
