Hello, I installed the iPadOS 18 PB 1 on my iPad Pro M4 a few days ago and noticed a bug which is annoying. If screen time runs out, the first thing I noticed, is that it is no longer possible to get one more minute in an app and also to send a message to the guard.

If I open the screen time settings, it will freeze and forces me to force quit the settings. I also noticed, that the widget wohnt show something either..

Is this a known issue? I could not find something similar to this in the release notes. I also submitted this bug in the feedback app.

I think the next PB will probably will some of this because DB4 fixed Screen Time. But i have lost any hope for ScreenTime. Its a buggy mess, and has been since it launched. I dont how a Company like Apple could release a Software as bad as ScreenTime...

Type the words „ScreenTime Bug“ and youll see that im not the only one thinking like this.

Yeah, I use the screen time feature a lot and think it is buggy too. Sometimes, if your device was turned off for a few days of empty, it sometimes needs like HALF AN HOUR after turning it back on to remove the screen time lock from the device. If you enable “one more minute“, it needs 10 seconds too, which causes you to have less time to save important things if needed.

I think, even though it is a mess and Apple needs to fix a lot, it is still more relieable than that what I know from Android phones. If you manage to set this right up with no minor mistakes, the child will not achieve to make a workaround for more time.
