help Apple Screen Time (Family Sharing) FAQ
How does a parent control a child's Screen Time through Family Sharing?
The parent opens Settings, selects Family, chooses the child's account, and manages Screen Time from the family controls. The child's iPhone or iPad must be associated with the correct Apple Account in the Family Sharing group.
Why does Ignore Limit sometimes appear after an app reaches its Screen Time allowance?
The behavior depends on whether Block at End of Limit is enabled and whether the child knows the Screen Time passcode. Parents should use a separate Screen Time passcode rather than the same code used to unlock the device.
What is the difference between Downtime and App Limits?
Downtime schedules a period when only allowed apps and communication remain available. App Limits set daily time allowances for selected categories or individual apps, such as one hour for games.
Why are Screen Time limits not syncing to a child's device?
Common causes include the wrong Apple Account, disabled Screen Time settings, outdated system software, or a device that has not recently connected to the internet. Verify the child appears in the same Family Sharing group before rebuilding every limit.
