Nuked Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! I’ve got some interesting news for you today. It seems like Apple has confirmed a bug that’s been causing quite a stir among parents who use the Screen Time limits feature for their kids’ devices. According to the Wall Street Journal, this bug has been preventing certain limits set through the Family Sharing system from saving correctly for months.
Now, let me give you a quick rundown of how Apple’s Family Sharing system works. It allows parents to set usage limits on their children’s devices, giving them control over which apps their kids can use and how much time they can spend on their devices. One of the key features of this system is called Screen Time, which allows parents to monitor and limit their kids’ usage of specific apps and the device as a whole.
The Journal discovered that a particular setting called Downtime, which blocks access to the entire device, has been failing to save correctly. In some cases, parents had to set Downtime limits three times before the limit properly saved. As you can imagine, this glitch may have given kids more access to their devices than their parents intended.
Apple has acknowledged the bug to the Journal and assured users that they are actively working on finding a solution. However, they have not provided any specific timeline for when this issue will be fixed. In a statement to the Journal, Apple said, “We are aware that some users may be experiencing an issue where Screen Time settings are unexpectedly reset. We take these reports very seriously and we have been, and will continue, making updates to improve the situation.”
So, for all you parents out there relying on Screen Time limits to keep your kids in check, hang in there! Apple is on the case and hopefully, this bug will be squashed soon enough. Until then, make sure to keep an eye on your little ones and their device usage. Stay tuned for more tech updates, folks!
