FAQ

Screen Time Management — Common Questions

What happens when my child reaches their daily limit?

When the limit is reached, the device locks and shows a friendly message explaining the daily allowance is used up. Your child can request a one-time extension, which you approve or deny from your parent app.

Can I set different limits for weekdays and weekends?

Yes. GuardianShield lets you set separate limits for school days and weekends. You can also create day-specific schedules if you need different rules for individual days.

Can my child bypass screen time limits?

No. GuardianShield uses Device Administrator permissions on Android and a supervised profile on iOS that prevent the limits from being bypassed or the app from being removed.

Does screen time include phone calls and emergency calls?

Phone calls and SMS are always available regardless of screen time limits. Emergency calling is never blocked.
