How to block Screen Time on iOS 26.4 (and newer)

Great news! Since iOS 26.4, Apple allows you to set up a Screen Time Passcode, making it much harder to remove Screen Time permissions without approval.

How to enable it:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Screen Time
  3. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode
  4. Set a 4-digit code

Pro tip:

For even stronger protection, ask a friend or family member to create and keep the passcode for you.

This creates an extra layer of accountability and helps prevent easy permission removal.
