Any changes to screentime/downtime?

Haven't seen this reported anywhere, but are there any changes to screentime in iOS14, specifically to downtime?

With 2 kids at home under lock down, I've been using these features much more to manage the amount of time they're on their ipads. I've really wish for an instant "kill switch" that will put their devices into downtime mode—rather than the current process of having to set the start time to RIGHT NOW.

Or does anyone know of a shortcut that instantly enables downtime?

A built in kill switch would be nice. In its place I set Downtime from 12:00 AM until 11:59PM and use the Downtime toggle to turn it off and on

Ah that’s a good idea

Screen Time for child’s devices got less secure Downtime.
The time zone change "hack" now even works when it was greyed out until iOS 13 by restricting change in location services and time zone being set to automatic.
