Screen Time tracks device use and can enforce Downtime, app limits, communication rules, and content restrictions. You can configure it for yourself or, with Family Sharing, for a child.
- Open Settings > Screen Time.
- Turn on Screen Time or select the appropriate family member if it is not already configured.
- Set Downtime for scheduled restricted periods.
- Use App Limits to set daily limits for categories or individual apps.
- Configure Content & Privacy Restrictions and a Screen Time passcode if you need enforcement.
Screen Time reports are estimates of device activity and can change as devices sync. For child controls, use a passcode the child does not know and review Family Sharing settings as well.
