As a parent I was so excited to hear about Screen Time, so much so that I upgraded my sons phone to iOS Beta 2 when it came out.As a parent I setup his access on my phone for his phone and set it so that he could not longer browse the web, watch YouTube etc after 10 PM at night. As before I would go in his room at night and he would be watching videos at 1 am.... (grr)Anyways Screen Time was a blessing until the other night when I heard him up at 1 am and went into his room and there he was watching videos on his phone. For some reason Screen Time wasn't shutting of his app access at 10 PM like it was supposed to.I asked my son how he was able to get around screentime and he told me... (and I consider this a big bug!)When Screen Time kicks in and shuts his apps off, he goes into Settings > General > Date & Time and then turns off "Set Automatically" and then changes the time to a time which he is not restricted by Screen Time, which then unlocks all the apps again.I thought that was smart of him to figure that out and I have not found a way to restrict him from changing his date and time settings.Last night, again he was on his phone after bed time... and I caught him. He said he found an easier way to defeat Screen Time, and he did that by setting the Time to 24 Hour Time, for some reason Screen Time does not understand 24 hour time.I hope this can be fixed by Apple, as if it can't it negates the entire reason for parents to have Screen Time.Thanks,Scott
