If this is still bugging you (as it is me), I'd recommend adding your voice here:
For anyone still struggling with this, as I have been, I have found a fix:
1. Turn off Screen time on the child's device. You can do this from the parental device or the child's device.
2. Using the child's device, turn on screen time. Set up a Screen Time password and the various settings.
Now Netflix is blocked, and Safari / Chrome / etc will not open websites in Downtime. Same goes for YouTube and Instagram etc.
Note: Screen Time for the child will show as 'Off' on the parental device.
Do not turn on Screen Time from the parental device.
If you turn on ScreenTime from the parental device, it will somehow permanently unblock Chrome / Safari / Netflix / YouTube and others for the child. Do the above steps again to fix it.
Yes Screen Time doesn't work and is broken. This fail should be simple for Apple to fix.
It took me hours to figure out what was going on.. o searched every forum and o FINALLY found a solution! Idk if it’ll work for everyone but if you all tried all the above solutions and it STILL failed… what worked for me was 1. Reset all settings by going to general > reset > reset all settings. No worries your iPad will still be signed in and have all your apps!!! It just ensures the kiddo didn’t change a setting your unaware of. 2. (The important step!) when you set up screen time again, DO NOT select “share across devices”!!!! Turning this setting off (or never turning it on) literally solved my issue. No idea why but it worked!Okay, so I have Downtime set on out daughter's phone so nothing bar the essentials should be available after 7pm & before 7am.
I have added the required apps to the access at all times list.
Out of hours the restricted apps show the little hourglass beside them. All but Instagram.
It is not in the allowed list yet it keeps showing up.
This has to be a bug of some sort.
I've tried adding it to the list & removing it. Rebooting the phone etc yet still it shows up when it is not supposed to.
Any suggestions? Of all apps it's the one I really do want blocked!!!
I have toggled "share across devices" OFF and it goes dark after toggling itself back on again. Now I can not change it AT ALL. It is PERMANENTLY ON with no option for me to turn it off again.It took me hours to figure out what was going on.. o searched every forum and o FINALLY found a solution!
