A few things to know
Visit the support pageCan I manage another device remotely?
This version is configured on the device being managed. It has no remote control, cloud accounts or device sync. Set up each iPhone or iPad separately.
Does an app lock the instant a limit is reached?
Apple’s Screen Time frameworks handle events and shielding, and callbacks may be delayed. SafeSprout displays configured limits and lock states, not live usage or a second-by-second countdown.
What if I forget the parent PIN?
There is no cloud recovery or universal PIN. The device owner can revoke Screen Time authorization in Settings to end management, but this does not recover the PIN. Reinstalling is not guaranteed to reset it.
