You need to add him as a family member and then you need to set it to “Block” when the limit is reached for both Screentime and App Limits. Once you do that if he wants more time he will get the option to extend for 1 minute or send a request to you to allow more time. The request will appear on your phone.
Unless he knows the PIN in which case all bets are off…
That’s what I did, but it still doesn’t work. I’ve also changed the pin a few times, but it’s only 4 digits so maybe he just keeps guessing. If I was cynical I’d say Apple have made it a bit crap so kids can bypass it so they stay addicted to their phones.
Take it off him once you’ve been notified of the limit being reached.
That’s what I’ve been doing but I’d rather it was done automatically as he is always pissed off with me when I take it off him.
OP – bet you never watch shite on your phone. Don’t be too hard on him!
Yes, but not to the extent he does and not at all at his age.
Turn the WiFi off?

This is likely to be more effective if he pays his own telephone bill or you live in an area with a rubbish signal
Did that on the router but he just burns through his mobile data allowance instead that we pay for.
