How do I prevent kids from bypassing parental controls on iPhone?

Did every parent know your kids can use one more minute when their times over.

And they can change language to any country then they can use one more minute again and again.

Kids always can find bugs, they show me the parental controls

And I looks like a dumb.

If any child shows willful intent to completely ignore what you have told them to do and are always looking for a way to subvert your rules, then the phone needs to be taken away until they can earn your respect.


There are "dumb" flip phones under $40 that your child will be so embarrassed to take out in public and lack any app functionality, they will quickly learn there are consequences to their actions and much more willing to listen to your rules you have laid out. A smartphone is a privilege and is something that should be earned.
