Webb + 2026.01.04 + + Workarounds Apple's ScreenTime Workarounds + +Body + + Teenagers think ScreenTime isn’t for them and **will** figure out a + way around them. They forget that we millennials used the internet + decades before they were even a thought. Anyway. + + 📸[Do I look like a bitch?][IMG1] + + A popular method is to change the date and time. This is particularly + stressing when your teen has an iPhone and a MacBook. + + From your teen’s MacBook, head to System Settings → General → Date & + Time. Ensure "Set time and date automatically" is checked. For us, it + was not, the date was set several weeks back and the time was totally + off. Restoring the time and date will also fix an issue in Screen + Time where you might see a message stating that your teen’s computer + cannot be seen or whatever. + + Now you'll want to head to Users & Groups. From there, you can see if + they are an `Admin`[1]. **We don’t want that.** Create a new `Admin` + account for you, log out of your teen’s account, log into your’s, go + to the same place in settings, and change their account to + `Standard`. You also want to uncheck "Allow this user to administer + this computer." + + As for iOS, go into your Settings → Family → Teen’s Name → Screen + Time → App Limits. You probably have a bunch of limits in here + already but you should add the Shortcuts app. For whatever reason, + there’s a way to circumvent limits with certain shortcuts that can be + easily downloaded from the internet. If your teen is an active user + of Shortcuts, they’ll just have to suffer until they move out. + +References + + [1] + [IMG1] -- cgit v1.2.3
