Hey all,
Since updating to 6.1 a little while back, I've noticed that I'm unable to approve screen time requests for the kids. Up until this update, I've always gotten a notification, and the option to approve for 15 minutes, 1 hour, the day, etc. It's very handy to be able to approve that way. Now, I still get the notification, but selecting one of the options does nothing. The kids don't get the approval. I still need to get the phone out, go to screen time, choose the kid, see the request is still there, authenticate, and then approve it.
So, for whatever reason, approving on the watch isn't actually sending the approval somehow. Even after clicking approve on the watch, the request still shows as pending on the phone.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Anyone else having this issue? I've done the usual stuff; rebooted phone and watch, turned screen time off and on again, etc. Everything else works with the watch except this. Wondering if it's a WatchOS issue, given that it started after the last update.
Edit: This is with a Series 4 watch and an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
