User level: Level 1 (12 points)Screen time permissions:
settings keep changing daily from “don’t allow” to “Allow”
Iphone SE2023, iOS 27.0.1
since this update, Screen Time does not keep the settings I choose. So for example, Location has been set to “don’t allow” but it changes to “Allow” by the next day, without any input from me..

Worth checking Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Location Services and set it to Don't Allow Changes. Also set a Screen Time passcode so the settings can't be reverted. If it still flips overnight, turn Content & Privacy Restrictions off, restart the iPhone, turn it on and set your choices again.

Do you share an Apple ID with another person?
