I’m currently using the iOS 18 beta and - during an earlier beta (3 I think) - Screen Time was broken in that it didn’t let you change the settings or extend a session, it would just crash.
This actually made the feature useful! You could no longer just click a button to skip the warnings, you had to actually stop when the time was up. Sure it was a bit annoying but that’s the whole point.
So yea, I’ve been thinking of getting my partner to change the PIN for it so I can’t skip the warnings in the future.
It’s not a bad feature, it’s just often poorly configured and badly implemented.
Us students (16 yo) managed to circumvent Apples MDM restrictions multiple times. Finding each way took us maybe a minute on average. That's just pathetic.
sounds more like an Apple skill issue
You could also change the PIN to something random that you’ve written down somewhere inconvenient, or stored in a password manager.
