Since iOS 12, iOS has had a built-in screen time monitoring capability. You may use Screen Time as a parental control tool and control your smartphone usage patterns. Some people utilise the Screen Time function in iOS to limit the time they spend on social networking, games, YouTube, etc. You can set a custom password to protect yourself or your children from unintentionally disabling Screen Time. Passwords are passwords, which makes them very easy to forget. This post is for you if you forgot your Screen Time passcode and want to learn how to disable Screen Time on iPhone without a passcode.
