I agree. Life is tough right now. Let kids have some fun and social networking.


The teens have found this thread.

I called teen out on it. Checked this morning. Claims teen wasn’t on past midnight last night. Didn’t seem likely. I looked at yesterday’s report. Says teen wasn’t on after 7pm (definitely not true. Teen was FaceTiming friend at 11pm last night and knows I know). More concerning, it now shows that teen was not up until 4am yesterday, and in fact, teen didn’t use it until noon.

Um... it is possible this is a glitch? I’m really concerned if teen is manipulating the report, as this brings up a lot of old issues.

I can’t find online how to go back and change the screentime history, though. She used Google Chome, social media (text and maybe twitch), and entertainment (probably YouTube).


Yes, they can alter it. My son says all you need to do is change the hour to China time. LOL.
