My teenager has been sneaking on his phone way past bedtime, and setting the usual screen time limits hasn’t worked because he always figures out my passcode. I’ve tried taking the device away physically at night, but it just causes a massive argument that ends up waking the rest of the house. Is there some sort of stealthy way I can remotely freeze his screen from my own device so he just assumes it stopped working for the night?
Use Screen Time in Settings to set a downtime schedule, and make sure to use a separate passcode for it so he can’t change it. You can also use the built-in “Find My” feature to locate his device and remotely lock it if needed. For more advanced monitoring, I recommend checking out mSpy for a reliable solution.
