How to stop teens from bypassing screen time limits?

Apple offers Screen Time to help manage how much time you and your children spend on apps, and it allows you to block or limit specific apps and features on your child's device. However, some iPhone users have reported that their children can bypass the Screen Time limits even after turning it on. There are also online tricks that can be used to bypass Screen Time. So, how can you prevent teens from bypassing Screen Time limits?

 

1. Disable Screen Time Request

 

Enabling Screen Time Request means that a pop-up option will appear to approve 15 minutes, 1 hour, all day, or decline. Teens can keep requesting 15 minutes or 1 hour without any limit. To disable Screen Time Request, go to iPhone Settings -> Screen Time -> App Limits -> turn on "Block at End of Limit" option.

2. Require a Passcode to Bypass Screen Time

 

Go to iPhone Settings -> Screen Time -> Use Screen Time Passcode, and then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. After setting a password, your child will need to enter the passcode to bypass Screen Time or request more time.
