Screen Time is a built-in feature for seeing and managing how much time adults and their children spend on apps, websites and more. There are two types of users: adults and (managed) children.
Although Screen Time isn’t a new system security feature, it’s important to understand how it protects the privacy and security of the data gathered and shared between devices. Screen Time is available in iOS 12 or later, iPadOS 13.1 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, and some features of watchOS 6 or later.
The table below describes the main features of Screen Time.
For users managing their own device usage, Screen Time controls and usage data can be synced across devices associated to the same iCloud account using CloudKit end-to-end encryption. This requires that the user’s account have two-factor authentication enabled (syncing is on by default). Screen Time replaces the Restrictions feature found in previous versions of iOS and iPadOS, and the Parental Controls feature found in previous versions of macOS.
Parents can also use Screen Time in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices to understand and control their children’s use. If the parent is a family organizer (in iCloud Family Sharing), they can view usage data and manage Screen Time settings for their children. Children are informed when their parents turn on Screen Time, and they can monitor their own usage as well. When parents turn on Screen Time for their children, the parents set a passcode so their children can’t make changes. When they reach age of majority (age will vary depending on country or region), the children can turn this monitoring off.
Usage data and configuration settings are transferred between the parentʼs and childʼs devices using the end-to-end encrypted Apple Identity Service (IDS) protocol. Encrypted data may be briefly stored on IDS servers until it’s read by the receiving device (for example, as soon as the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is turned on, if it was off). This data isn’t readable by Apple.
If the user turns on Share iPhone & Watch Analytics, only the following anonymized data is collected so that Apple can better understand how Screen Time is being used:
•Was Screen Time turned on during Setup Assistant or later in Settings
•Change in Category usage after creating a limit for it (within 90 days)
•Is Screen Time turned on
•Is Downtime enabled
•Number of times the “Ask for more” query was used
