I’ve a easy record of authorised web sites configured on a daily (non-admin) consumer for my child. For numerous causes I don’t need to set this up utilizing Household Sharing, simply the Display screen Time settings for the consumer account.
Previous to Sonoma, this was working pretty properly, though I did discover that the allowlist didn’t block non-Safari browsers like Chrome/Opera.
Since updating to Sonoma, this appears to have been hardened considerably as I initially obtained spammed with Display screen Time community restriction messages for a lot of apps, together with Information and Climate widgets.
A handful of instances I used the passcode to whitelist these requests. I additionally needed to go in to the allowlist manually so as to add some associated web sites. However now the Display screen Time management panel is damaged in a number of methods:
- Though Safari nonetheless limiting current web sites as anticipated, the pop-up choosing between “Unrestricted Entry”, “Restrict Grownup Web sites” and “Allowed Web sites Solely” is caught at “Unrestricted Entry”. Trying to alter this asks for the ScreenTime passcode however then flips again to Unrestricted.
- Because the button to edit the record of “Allowed Web sites” is barely displayed in restricted mode, this makes the record utterly inaccessible.
- Probably associated: adjustments to the Downtime schedule are additionally being ignored, displaying one time in Settings however at all times activating on the pre-Sonoma schedule.
My guess is that the management panel is reverting to some default view as a result of it’s unable to parse the present settings.
The place are Display screen Time settings saved and the way would possibly I restore them or no less than reset them?
UPDATE: After just a few newer level updates, the scenario is considerably worse:
- No Safari websites are blocked in any respect, whatever the filter settings
- All websites are blocked in different browsers, even these which are explicitly whitelisted
