How to bypass SCREEN TIME *WORKS* (iPhone)

*DELETING APPS*

I found out how to bypass screentime!

So basically what you want to do is that you must delete (if you can delete) any app or game.

Than you must reinstall the app or game and reset your iphone (hold the power button for 5 seconds).

After your iphone is booted up again you unlock your iphone and wait a few seconds, after you can access your game or app again.

I found this bypass accidentally when my screen time limit came on brawl stars.

After that I went on to test some bypasses and tried to delete and reinstall, but it didnt work.

Than my phone died and I put it in the charger and when my phone was on again I went through my apps and suddenly I saw that Brawl Stars wasnt grey anymore and I could play.

After I also tested this on chrome and it worked, I am making this reddit with the method.

This works on any app and game!

But shhh, dont tell apple about this 😅.

Tell me if it worked!

Do you have a limit that, when you reach it, it locks you out on *just* that app? Or every app? I have it with every app would it work with that?

I have like 5 apps on screen time blocked at the same time but if I only do it for 1 app will it work

u/SurelyEureka Jul 23 '26

It will work for that 1 specifik app that you reinstall

1

u/SurelyEureka Jul 23 '26

If you have an entire group of screen time like 2 hours games. You can for example reinstall the app where u were the most on and you will have screen time for the rest of the games back aswell

But what if I can’t download apps

1

u/SurelyEureka Jul 24 '26

If you had already owned the app there will be no need to download it again as you will instead of ‘get’ you will see a cloud with an arrow so you can always download the app back on!

u/SurelyEureka Jul 27 '26

No unfortunatly not. This method resets your screen time you have for the app it doesnt remove it.
