I have an Apple Watch with cellular for my son. It is connected via the watch app to my phone, but has it’s own phone number and is otherwise not associated with a phone. He also has an iPad; both use the same Apple ID. Recently, the screen time settings for texting (its set to block overnight except specific allowed contacts) on the watch only have not been working consistently - all texting is available on the watch, but is blocked appropriately on the iPad. All of the other app screen time limits on the watch ARE working; it’s just texting that is not working correctly.
It’s not every night, but it is very frequent lately. Sometimes restarting the watch fixes it, other times if I toggle screen time on and off in the screen time settings on my phone that does it. Other times nothing does.
We recently upgraded his watch because of this and also him not getting notifications randomly, and it has gotten significantly worse since then. What can I do so that screentime works correctly on the watch like it does on the iPad without me needing to do anything?
