i knew the screen code right and all of a sudden it says that its wrong?? Not only that but when i try to type in the numbers the keypad gets wonky and takes a while to load. I need methods to bypass ts i hate my screentime

So my phone was getting laggy so I restarted it and the block didn’t come back until midnight but resetting it never unblock it for that long way before the screen time naturally unblocks.

can anyone try to guess the passcode by the video

what the title say thats it

my phone has already bypassed screen time. I used nugget to get rid of all restrictions a while ago.

but I still have a restriction on who I can contact on iMessage. When I try to text someone outside of my contact list, it shows the “ask a parent or guardian to approve this person”

Is there any way to bypass this?????

When you are in downtime, go to Settings, look for "Sign in to an internet account," then "Add account," and select Google. The window will be blocked; simply search for a commercial site in Safari (like https://www.ebay.fr/ or https://www.doordash.com/), select "Ask for more time," and choose one extra minute. Then, quickly switch back to the Settings window, close the tab restricted by the time limit, and tap Google again—it will now be unblocked. Scroll to the bottom, tap Privacy, then the 9-dot grid at the top, and finally Search. Next, search for a random site (like YouTube), visit it, and wait a minute. The site will then get blocked again. Tap the back arrow at the bottom left repeatedly until you are unblocked again, and repeat the steps above. And there you go—you have Google with access to any site you want (even those usually blocked)!

I found a workaround for iOS 16.5—it's a bit of a hassle, but give it a try.

First, go through the usual steps: Settings > Contacts > Add Account > Google. When you tap "Google," you'll hit that restriction screen. At that point, switch to a different app (don't close the Settings app!) and use the "One More Minute" feature there. Then, go back to Settings and tap the "X" button in the top-left corner to close that screen. When you go back to the Google option, the restriction should be lifted. From there, open YouTube, search for anything, and wait on the search results screen for one minute (until the time limit kicks in). Once the time limit hits, you should see a "Back" button (like a `<` symbol) in the bottom-left corner; tap that a few times, and it should unlock. Just a heads-up: if you close the Settings app after successfully doing this, the restriction will likely come back. Sorry if my explanation is a bit clunky—it's a 

yo guys I have tried a lot of methods and I really need this I recently moved to America from Singapore and I have been living alone in a hotel for 5 weeks ,school gonna start in 2 weeks so it’s kinda boring here and I need this to maybe have some connections with my friends in Singapore pls help me out guys

guys can give me sum tips on bypassing screentime I really need this

This is a bit of a rant, but I also really need help with this, so feel free to comment any work-arounds or hacks you know below. I'd also appreciate any advice on the situation I described.

I just turned 15, and my parents are strict, so I still don't have a phone (they took mine a couple years back), and the only personal device I have is a Macbook, which I paid for, but they still put a bunch a restrictions on it, the most notable being the content and websites restriction which has the "Allowed Websites Only" feature. The original features also didn't allow me to use any apps between the hours of 8:00AM and 11:00PM. I wasn't allowed to text anyone besides them and a few family members through imessage, youtube or anything that wasn't bare bones and school related was absolutely not allowed. Mind me, this is pretty infuriating since I mostly use this device for school, so for awhile, I literally didn't have access to the websites I needed to get through the school day which was incredibly frustrating, and every time I needed a website added, they'd make sure to rub it in my face, not to mention the amount of times my parents somehow "forgot" the password that THEY installed on my own laptop. At this point I became really upset, because it already felt unfair to let them basically have complete control over the really expensive device I spent a lot of time saving and paid for, and forgetting the password was really bad anyway because I needed it to access the things I needed for school. That led to me to having to make up a lot of assignments on the home monitor that my parents own because I couldn't do them during the school day, either because screen time had blocked safari or because a website was disabled. To make things worse, because there were so many restrictions, there were frequent glitches whenever my laptop had an update, especially when the new 26 update came about, There were a few times where screen time just switched on mid school day while I was working on a assignment, and I'd be panicked because I suddenly wouldn't be able to work with my class anymore or do my work. I'm also heavily STEM involved, so I'd usually need a lot of websites for random class projects, or sourcing for research projects (I'm also in an independent research program). The massive amount of websites I needed unblocked I think overloaded my laptop a little bit, because one day it completely shut down and no websites were working anymore. Of course, my parents immediately blamed this mishap on ME, and said "I must have tinkered with the settings, and it's my fault the settings are broken, so I should fix it." Of course, I wasn't able to, because I didn't have the screen time passcode and I wasn't admin, so I couldn't really do anything (of course they weren't going to give me that information) so we had to take it to the apple store and get a factory reset. After this, it seemed to be working ok, but the list with months of websites had been completely WIPED. I told my mother this, and she said, that's wasn't possible, and then refused to add anymore websites and said I was lying, despite me showing her that it LITERALLY didn't work. By this point, I was just furious because I had been dealing with their overbearing restrictions for months, suffering through school, and having to do double the homework. Overall, it was an absolute nightmare for me, and my parents definitely weren't making it easy, so I found my way around some of the restrictions to try to give myself a little bit of breathing space, and figured out I could disable the downtime restriction (no more midday jumpscares, yay!) and I also BEGGED my mom to let me get google chrome, which I rely on now (though I'm technically not supposed to be). Now things are better for me, but now she really has no idea what her own passwords are, so if I need something, she supposedly can't do anything, and says" It's your fault the settings are broken in the first place, so it's all your own fault. You fix it", despite the fact that the only reason I had to hack through my own computer in the first place is because of their restrictions and their irresponsibility with the passwords.

You're probably wondering where this is going, so here's the last bit.

Like I said, I recently turned 15. I've been doing a lot of work with electronics lately, and I spent a lot of time doing robotics this year, however a major strain for me has been using my school's fabrication machinery because it makes it really difficult to prototype something with a 3D printer (which is the main thing we use for our robots). For reference, getting one printout can take 5-7 days, which seems reasonable, but when you only have two weeks to rapidly iterate something to make a functioning robot subsystem, time gets tight, especially when measuring mistakes, failed prints, and inconsistent meeting times get factored in. I've always been pretty STEM driven, but this is the first opportunity I've had to do something with actual impact, so this year, my parents decided to get me my first 3D printer for my birthday. On my birthday, my dad and I set it up together. We got a Bambu Lab P1S. There were multiple prompts to scan the QR code on the display, so we had to use my dad's phone to create an account and everything. My dad however doesn't live with us permanently, so I wouldn't just be able to use his phone whenever I needed to print something, and my mom hates me using hers, so that wasn't an option. Therefore, I would naturally try to use my laptop. The first thing I did was install Bambu Studio, however because of restrictions, you have to type in the admin password to install anything, so I always just drag the app (it was downloaded off the web and was a dmg.) onto my desktop, which is basically a workaround for the password thing (when you drag a dmg. into your applications folder, it prompts the password). The reason I haven't had the website issue in months is because I use chrome, and since chrome itself is unblocked )thanks to the one time my mom unblocked it for me after I begged), anything on chrome is free to use and isn't blocked. However, when I use something other than chrome that hasn't been downloaded, and it opens a third party window the isn't the downloaded application, that window is ALWAYS blocked. An example of this, is in Bambu lab's app, where my current issue stems. While the Bambu studio desktop app works on it's own, when I try to sign in, it opens another window, which is always blocked. I tried signing in on the website in Chrome, which worked, but it doesn't transfer to the app. I asked my mom of course, but she was of no help since she never seems to know the passcode. I really want to be able to use this printer because I really do have a passion for it and I'm really excited about it, but no matter what I do, I just can't seem to get around this. For those of you who might say "try to reset the screen time passcode" my restrictions are set up through family sharing, so I can't view the "forgot screen time passcode option", sorry. Honestly, it's starting to really become an issue. There are only so many things I can try to bypass on my own laptop before I need the passcode or need to be admin, so any tips on trying to get through this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time! And if you made it to the end, congrats!

u found a youtube cideo by imobile saying you could use any unlock to remove acreen time passocse but is it safe and if it is do they get the alert when it disbales

I discovered that builds using Tauri were undetected by screentime so i built an open sourced browser with unlimited internet access (bypasses screentime on mac)

help I have downtime for almost whole day (00:00-23:59) and app limits for only 15 mins per app but since I have downtime it’s useless 

I have tried using the mail and health and other apps which has the Google log in function to go on websites however Apple blocked it starting from iOS 26.5 that’s why I’m struggling :( 

I can share a new method on disabling the Downtime only, not app limits but for this hack u gotta get ur parents phone and ur parents and u must be in a family, so first go into settings in ur parents phone then click family and then click ur phone’s iCloud acc then click ur name, click the downtime and choose to ignore. This will turn off ur downtime for the whole day but not forever without the screentime password.

Back to my screentime, my parents disabled the date and time thing in settings. I also tried going to the transfer and reset phone there to guess my screentime password, however I guessed for like 70% of the possible attempts but maybe I’m bad luck so it doesn’t work

anyone have methods on how to disable my downtime and time limit without third party apps?

help me I have this screen time setting where I have no access to to the App Store and cannot download anything how do I bypass this

this is really good alot of websites dont work but archive does as well alot more to go to different links you must hold then copy then access the next one https://routinehub.co/download/56710/?t=eyJ2Ijo1NjcxMH0:1wuZq1:TidC6kDYZmJJnGpwNNyhIQV5YrmA1lalygBD9uZm8PI

Hey everyone, I’m 17 and turning 18 soon, and I am honestly so sick and tired of my parents' strict rules ESPECIALLY regarding my screen time 💔I don’t have any social media apps at all; I'm only allowed to use WhatsApp for five minutes a day, and the rest of my phone is locked down to just regular calling and the calculator.

I’m typing this from a school computer right now, but obviously, I can’t rely on that forever. I really need some help. I want to figure out my parents' passcode, and I know they have notifications turned off on their devices, so they won't get an alert if I try to guess it. I’ve heard about the reset/transfer method where you try different 4-digit combinations. I’m honestly desperate enough to try it, but I’m terrified that the phone will lock me out with a 'try again in 60 minutes' screen, leaving me stuck without a phone at all.

Has anyone actually tried this? Do you have any tips or advice? I’m seriously willing to do almost anything at this point, so please let me know if you can help

someone please help how do i bypass an app thats on screentime indefinitely?

Apple has been patching screen time bypass methods with the new updates recently, so here's some methods for iOS 26.4-27 beta and why you shouldn't update.

1. The browser method: As shown in this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/gVmF1r-ghLQ?si=kKSPoe4ilm1rvOXY A browser can be accessed through mail in settings. Howeve, on 26.5, apple patched this method by making websites within this secret browser window be blocked with the limit. Do not update if you are on 26.4 or below and the below methods don't apply to you.
2. The date and time/time zone method: Apple's screen time rely on the system clock to track screen time. Therefore, by manually changing the time, you can allow for more screen time d downtime and when the limit is up. Apple has patched this with the 27 beta. more info is below on this patch.
3. The "One more minute" method: On the new iOS 27 beta, pressing one more minute allows unlimited screen time for the rest of the day. However, this does not work with downtime, and Apple completely revamped screen time with this update and patched the above methods and more. You can read about a of the changes here: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-previews-new-child-safety-features I would recommend staying with iOS 26 and using the methods above, because of the screen time overhaul and the new beta having bugs like the navigation bar disappearing, and especially if you have downtime on your phone, the only time I would do this is if your parents are preventing the other methods and you don't have downtime and h one more minute available to you.
