Screen time not working

[bgodwin]

Hey guys -

We have set up screen time limits on my daughters iPhone 8+ but the limits we have set up are not working at all.

The limits we set are not working. For example: We set limit on YouTube to say 2 hours a day. 2 hours come and go and the app isn't stopped.

Also - down time limits are not working either.

Any suggestions???

Thanks!

There are apparently ways of getting around YouTube restrictions in ScreenTime. reddit: the front page of the internet
I don't know if this one still works, though.

I only have a iPhone 6. I did not know you could set limits. I thought all screen time did was let you know how much time you spend doing certain things on your iPhone.

It does both. Use Screen Time to get insights about how you use your device
