Screen Time

Plain-English definition, in the context of supervised iPhone protection.

By Yisrael Schneider, Manager ·

Apple's built-in parental-control framework. Designed for nudging, not enforcement — any user with the Screen Time password (or willingness to factory reset) can disable it. We do not build The Kosher iPhone on Screen Time. Supervised Mode + MDM is a structurally stronger layer that cannot be disabled by the user.
