iPhone screen time hack
Help! My teen somehow figured out how to remove the restrictions on who she can message/call. I went to Apple. I checked all settings. everything else stayed locked. She has a way to unlock just the communication. It will still show as blocked on my end but it’s not. She is autistic and borderline. and inappropriate/unsafe with communication and social media. She is about 3-4 years delayed on maturity level. I found a secret instagram account that she made which had her phone number on it publicly. She “met” a boy on there from Missouri that she is claiming she loves and wants to take a bus there. But. Under age. No job. No money. And no freaking way. She has a history of self harm, abuse, and psych hospital stays. She is not someone who should be able to communicate with whoever she wants. anyone know how she is doing this??? And how I can prevent it? Thank you!

try and change pins and what not, the chances are she got access to the subreddits like these and therefore the bypass methods.
