Some Apple users say its parental controls aren't working properly. A CEO who has 4 kids called it 'frustrating.'::Parents told The Wall Street Journal they have to continuously check their Screen Time settings to ensure their children's usage is limited.

Screen time limits hasn't been working for months, have had several support cases in regards to it, debugging and logs sent to Apple and nothing.

Second to last time they actually admitted to having problems with the function (accidentally I am sure since I can bet money on that they aren't allowed to admitting to faults).

Have just given up on the function now

It works on my 2 boys’ but not on my daughter’s. Good thing is she told me it wasn’t working and still followed the rules by not using it after a certain time of day. She’s a great kid. On the other hand, both of my boys would have totally abused it.

I do like the mix. My oldest is a boy, middle is a girl, youngest is a boy. Kind of lucked out. 😂

They were amazing for years and switched from push notifications to iMessage and broke everything, used to work to allow from Apple Watch, now that function appears to work but doesn't do anything
