Hello,
my app is frequently loosing / forgetting the Screen Time Permission that had been granted previously on iOS 26.
I have experienced it myself, sysdiagnose is in this radar: FB18997699
But also also my App Store users who have updated to iOS 26 already have reported this bug.
It would be great if Apple could ensure that this bug is addressed before iOS 26 is released to the public.
This just happened again on iOS 26 beta 4: FB19018706
(Yesterday’s bug report happened on beta 3).
This is definitely a serious problem, and I urge the Screen Time team to address this before iOS 26 gets released to the public.
@Quappi have you had any updates from Apple on the feedback report? We believe we have encountered the same issue.
Our app can still have DeviceActivityMonitor activities active, but does not show up in screen time settings anymore and restrictions do not take effect for an internal user.

@KevinVB unfortunately, no update on that except from this:
We can't reproduce this internally.
This has just happened again for me recently on the latest iOS 26.4 update.

I had initially reported this to Apple on iOS 26 beta 1 in June 2025, it’s really frustrating to see that this has not been addressed before the public release of iOS 26 – and we’re facing the same issue still 10 months later…
