Lock down phone after screen time ends

How can I setup the new parental controls so nothing on the phone is available after the end of the screen time.


I am looking for an experience like Android where with Google Family Link you can set when the device is no longer available.


My kid is downloading shorts from Snapchat and is able to view them whenever, regardless of the phone being outside of screen time or not.

The SystemPaperViewService is logging this activity. However much I limit this, the limit is not applied.

I'm not familiar with Android parental controls, so I can't comment on that.


How old is your child? Snapchat is 13+. If your child is under 13, you should be able to prevent them from using the app.


Another option is something like no phones after 8pm. Phones go on the charger in the parents' room. It won't solve problems during the day but it's a start.
