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:
- Open Settings
- Go to Screen Time
- Tap Use Screen Time Passcode
- 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.
