Apple Acknowledges Bug Impacting Screen Time Restrictions for Kids, Working on Fix

The issue has been reported by multiple users, and around 2,300 people on an Apple discussion page have experienced the same bug. Some parents find themselves needing to reset the feature frequently, as it does not retain the desired settings for their children’s device usage. The bug was known to Apple before, and the company claimed to have fixed it with the release of iOS 16.5 in May. However, the problem persisted in subsequent releases and even in the iOS 17 beta.
