    Family safety app freezing on iOS for only one family member


    Hello,

    My spouse and I both have the Microsoft family safety app on our iPhones. We both have IOS version 18.4.1, and the latest version of the Microsoft Family app (2.0.0).

    The app freezes whenever we click on one particular family member. There are no problems with the other family members. This issue happens on both of our phones for the same family member.

    I’ve tried uninstalling the app, restarting the phone, and reinstalling the app. This doesn’t work. I’ve tried logging in to family safety on my PC. I am able to manage the family member’s screen time and account from my PC. It seems like a Microsoft family safety IOS app bug. Any other suggestions or information from the community?

    Thank you!

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with Family App on IOS.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    The issue is likely a bug in the Microsoft Family Safety iOS app related to a specific family member's profile.

    Please be guided with the following troubleshooting steps:

    Verify Microsoft account for the specific member by making sure that the problematic family member's Microsoft account is still active. You can verify this by having the member sign in on their device and checking their settings.

    And then check for app updates, it is worth double-checking the App Store for any potential updates that might address the issue.

    Next is to remove the specific family member from your family group and then re-add them. This will help refresh their profile and resolve any data corruption issues. Once done, kindly check if it works.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
