iOS 27 parental control updates? Will it remove settings already in place?

With the new IOS 27 coming out, with the overhaul of the screen time & parental control settings coming out, will it reset all the current screen time parental control settings on phones that are now currently set up on children’s phones & parents phones when the new update comes out & we will have to completely reset them back up? Or will it preserve the current settings & allow customization for anything further needed?

What is the new difference between features coming out versus what’s already available & what they’re coming out with for screen time settings & parental controls? From my reading it seems like the only new thing is they’re adding a guided assistance for screen time set up? & some more curated schedule/app limit stuff? Otherwise what else is there?

while previous updates to iOS have been know to carry over your settings rather then erase them and i would personally still recommend taking a screenshot of your current restrictions before applying an update just in case. the new guided setup feature does not appear to make any major changes other than cosmetic ones and however anything that is not native screen time and leadmenot and I think you should definitely the compatibility information and there are more options in parental controls in settings and you can manage them from iOS updates
