How do I add more time to my child's device?

Quick question- if we want to add more time to their device, where in screen time do I do that?

It depends on what type of time you'd like to add. There are generally two settings that effect how much time screen time allows:

1. Downtime (total effect across the entire device) Usually set to late evening through early morning.

2. Amount of time per app. Limits like 30 minutes of TikTok or 1 hour of Instagram, etc…

To make changes to either, you should be able to do it directly from your device if screen time is set up via family sharing. I can't remember in your specific case but most of the time it is. Here's how:

On your phone go to Settings/Family/ then select the specific child.

Next, select Screen Time. If you are looking to just expand their overall time (like from 8pm to 9pm, then you'll use Downtime. (Found there). However, if you are looking to increase a specific app's limit then you can do so by selecting "See All Activity". You'll then be shown a list of apps your child uses from most to least. Select whatever app you'd like to increase time to (if you've limited that app specifically) and you'll be able to change the time from the next screen.
