Setting screen time for adults/parent accounts

Rufus Chapman · Jan 30, 2019

The introduction of screen time for child accounts is welcome, but the lack of them for adult and parent accounts is puzzling, as I think it would help everyone. Apple's screen time works for any account. Also, one of the big problems seems to be with parents
who set up a child with their account, and then when they're old enough, create an account for the child; but no game achievements can be transferred over, leading to a very unhappy child and/or one who needs to continue logging in to the parent account to
keep playing. Adding screen time for the parent account would go a long way towards helping the child keep within acceptable playing limits. Please introduce it as soon as possible!

Thanks

It is my understanding that the child accounts I have setup for my kids will transfer to adult accounts when they turn 18. This means their achievements and games purchased with the child account will now be a normal adult account.

For example, I have XXX24 setup as the parent account with child accounts YYY24 and YYY25. When YYY24 turns 18 the account is now removed from being a child account attached to XXX24 and is now a standard account keeping the gamertag YYY24 and all achievements
and digital games purchased with that account. Someday when my kid "YYY24" has their own kids it will be a parent account with new child accounts under it.

The only difference between a Parent Account and a Child Account is that one resides under the other. With the right settings, a Child Account can have the same unrestricted access as the Parent Account. My oldest child does not have any restrictions on
their account so it really is similar to a standard account.

Screen time setting can be decided only by an adult account over a child account in order to monitor the activity of the later.

You can't set screen time over an adult account as it is supposed that an adult account is able to self monitor

So if I create another adult account I can manage the adult account he is already using? I didn’t think you could manage the screen time on an adult account. How do I do that? It doesn’t give me the option to set screen time limits for the adult account
he is using. I created a second adult account but it doesn’t let me set the screen time limits on the other adult account.

Removing the parental account doesn't make you an adult account it only makes it harder for you to change your settings until you reads an parental account

Only father time can make you an adult
