Parents can control when children have access to apps throughout the day with Screen Time Schedules in iOS 27, providing more flexibility than relying on a single daily limit.
Schedules can be adjusted for different times and days of the week, allowing parents to keep distracting apps unavailable during periods such as school while making them available again later.
Because schedules can reflect a family’s routine, they can be useful for managing device access around school, homework, meals, bedtime and other regular activities.
How to set a Screen Time Schedule in iOS 27
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Go to Screen Time and select your child.
- Open the option for managing your child’s schedule.
- Create a new schedule or time window.
- Choose the days and times when you want the schedule to apply.
- Select which apps your child should be able to access during that period.
- Save the schedule.
You can create or adjust schedules as your child’s routine changes, including setting different arrangements for weekdays and weekends.
