How To Switch Off Downtime On Apple Watch?
To switch off Downtime on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
- Tap on "Screen Time."
- Scroll down and locate the "Downtime" section.
- For a complete turn-off, "Turn Off Downtime," or if you have a schedule set, tap "Ignore Downtime Until Schedule" and then switch off the Schedule toggle.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps:
- If toggling Downtime off doesn't work, try to restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch. Keep the devices off for 2-3 minutes, turn on the watch first, and then restart the iPhone after about 10 seconds.
- If the issue persists, reset sync data on the Apple Watch by navigating to "Watch app > General > Reset > Reset Sync Data".
- Lastly, if the problem is still not resolved, consider unpairing and then re-pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone.
Remember that Apple Watch and iPhone share Screen Time settings, and changes made on one device may affect the other device. If you want to keep Downtime enabled on your iPhone but not on your Apple Watch, consider turning off "Share Across Devices" in the iPhone's Screen Time settings.
