help Screen Time by Apple (Advanced) FAQ
Can my child bypass Apple's Screen Time lock?
While Apple continuously patches exploits, kids have historically found workarounds, such as changing the device's date and time settings to reset app limits. You can prevent this by locking the Screen Time settings with a unique passcode different from the device unlock code.
Does Screen Time apply across multiple Apple devices?
Yes, if you use Family Sharing, Screen Time settings apply across all devices where the child is signed in with the same Apple ID. This means the limits you set on an iPad will also apply to their iPhone and Mac.
How does the Screen Time communication limit work?
You can restrict who your child can communicate with during downtime via the Communication Limits feature. This restricts phone calls, FaceTime, and iMessages to only approved contacts, providing excellent safety.
What is included in the weekly Screen Time report?
The report provides a detailed breakdown of how many hours were spent on specific app categories, such as social media or entertainment. It also shows how many notifications were received per app, helping parents identify digital wellbeing issues.
