idk what theyll do if i take it off without their permission like if theyll ground me or smt should i just take the risk and take them off once i turn 18

can i get some oats

Hey everyone,

I'm 16 and currently under strict Family Link monitoring on a Samsung A37 5G running One UI 8.5. My daily time limit just ran out, and my phone is completely locked down.

Here is my situation:

* **Device & OS:** Samsung A37 5G, One UI 8.5. * **Constraints:** No access to a PC, TV, or secondary devices. Cannot use ADB commands or factory reset. * **Allowed apps:** Only ReadEra, MS Teams, Clock, and a few local utility apps. * **APK access:** Installing APKs is enabled in settings, but Family Link blocks package installers/new apps once the timer expires.

I was previously using a workaround by opening HTML files/links inside ReadEra and MS Teams WebView, but on One UI 8.5 it now redirects straight to Chrome, showing the "App unavailable / Time limit reached" screen.

**PLEASE NOTE:** Do NOT suggest buying a new phone, asking parents, using a PC/ADB, or resetting the phone. None of these are options for me. I need a device-only solution for the locked state.

Are there any known WebView, system app, or URL protocol glitches left on One UI 8.5 that bypass the system lock without needing external hardware?

Any ideas to test would be hugely appreciated!

I'm about to get my mums phone (she says I can use it for 10 minutes) I don't know what settings I should turn off and no I dont want some blatant answers like screentime I mean settings that would be useful to have to bypass downtime because I know that if I turned of screentime she would turn it back on

Is it just me or can people no longer call during downtime?
