Why can't I see "Always Allowed" in my iOS Screen Time settings?

We're here to help.

Good news - "Always Allowed" hasn't disappeared. It's hidden behind a single iOS setting, and it takes about ten seconds to bring back.


Why this happens

Apple's Screen Time has a master toggle called "App & Website Activity."

When it's turned on, iOS shows "Downtime," "App Limits" and "Always Allowed" as separate rows under "Limit Usage."

When it's turned off, iOS collapses all three into a single row labelled "App & Website Activity" with the subtitle "Reports, Downtime & App Limits." So "Always Allowed" is still there - it's just not visible until the toggle is back on.


How to fix it

  • Open "Settings" on your iPhone

  • Tap "Screen Time"

  • Tap "App & Website Activity"

  • Turn it on

  • Go back - "Downtime," "App Limits" and "Always Allowed" will now appear under "Limit Usage"
