Perental controls, can you exclude an app?

Mr STully · Nov 24, 2020

I've set up screen time for my Grandson but would like to exclude youtube? He is limited to playing 3 hours a day but I'm allowing him to watch youtube after his gaming. The problem is as youtube is an App its included in his screen time which I have to
extend to allow him to continue to watch.

Just to also add, you are also able to do this on the Family Safety mobile app, if you have it.

Hi Mr STully

You can do this by going to the family setting on the web. If you go to app or game limits you will see a list of apps and games. One of these will be YouTube. You can then turn on the filter and set its own limit.

Hope that helps.

There is a perental control section were u can also set time time limits so your children can play for a hour a day and if they want to play longer or go on games above there age a email reguest gets sent to you and you can ever agree or not

Do you mean you want to turn off perental settings?

The enforcement team don't read these forums so you were told wrong.Filing a complaint via your console is the only way to report players & it will get investigated,it just takes a bit of time.

Blocking comms & using the perental controls is the only other things you can do.
