Hey,

So I obviously downloaded the dev beta the second I could, and I didn’t notice any bugs. Except after the first reboot, the new Screen Time settings UI is replaced by the old one (see video below). This also has an effect on Remote Screen Time Management somehow, making any change (Downtime, App limit, etc) from the guardian’s device over the internet (as in not directly on the managed phone) not take effect at all. Rebooting does nothing, connecting to wifi does nothing, everything. I reported this to the Feedback Assistant so hopefully they catch wind of this soon.

Anyone else experiencing this bug or does anyone have a workaround? Reply if so.

Thanks, Mr. Sharky

Same issue I experience. I found no solutions to it. I took a backup on my Mac then did the reset & erase the phone and then restored the backup from my Mac again. Now its working fine.

Yup, same issue here. As long as we all report it, it will help bring it to the forefront.

Same issue here. It’s the worst bug that I could have on my iPhone, because my Banks Account are being blocked by Screen Time and I can‘t use them. Please, fix this ASAP.

Hi there, I had the same bug, today, and the only workaround I found is to factory reset the iPhone :

But if we run the hard reset, we will lost all configurations…. And some configurations will be lost, as all codes within Google Autheticator

update on iOS 18 Developer Beta 2. The issue is still here, unfixed and even worse. Apple, fix this real quick!!! Every app from my phone keeps getting locked for 10 hours and I can't do anything. When I'm trying to open the menu, it even takes a longer time to crash and it slows my whole phone.

Yes on ipados 18.0 beta 2 this option screen time can not be opened, it just hangs settings app. Sounds like an improvement, as it was crashing badly xD

Yup. Same issue just worse now. The settings screen for everything lags when you select screen time and won’t even open it. You can’t dismiss search for “screen time” through the general search bar and it still doesn’t open. Cselevting the locked out apps and trying to bypass the limit or extend for 15 minutes doesn’t work either. I submitted another report for the beta 2. I suggest yall do that too.
