How do we prevent turning off 'Screen Time Access' in Settings? {SOLVED}

Ive been trying literally everything. Ive ran into one last problem.

  • I use the shortcuts app to help block me from turning it off in Settings which works.
  • The only issue is, when I completely shut off my iPhone and turn it back on, the shortcuts dont run fast enough, I have about a minute to turn off Opal in settings and relapse. How can I prevent this? If this was fixed this app would be perfect.

There needs to be a way where Opal is part of the Screen Time settings which requires a passcode. Because if it required a passcode to turn it off, I would simply just give it to a family or friend to choose a passcode and then I would not be able to disable it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve merged your request into the existing thread on this topic, and would recommend taking the following steps to prevent yourself from turning off Opal’s access to screen time:

Please note that the instructions have recently changed due to changes with Apple, so you should be good to go!

All the best,
