I have been using Screen Time limits for various apps on my kids' phones. However, it doesn't work for TikTok. i.e. the user can keep using the app after the limit has passed. A Google of this issue hasn't given any reliable fix. Anyone encountered this and/or have a good solution?

If you haven't already, go into the time limit setting for Tik Tok and just double check you have selected "Block at end of limit".

It's an easy one to miss, and I think is off by default.

Yeah, I had done that.

Now it seems to be working. I updated iOS, removed and re-entered the limits and rebooted. That seems to have done it - for now.

I'm also suspicious about the family iPad possibly having been used to change or remove limits. It seems that's a known work around for limits, when the iPad uses a parent account and the child knows the passcode for the iPad - even if they don't know the passcode for Screen Time. Will continue to monitor this...
