Part 2. Hack Screen Time with the Option "Ignore Limit"

Screen Time can limit how long you are able to use an app through the settings Screen Time > App Limits. After you reach the time limits, you can't use the app anymore. However, there is space to extend the use time of apps if the option "Block at End of Limit" is not ticked. Once you reach your limit on an app, you will get a screen writing "Time Limit" when you open the app. At the bottom of the screen, you can tap the option "Ignore Limit" to extend the use time of the app to 1 minute, 15 minutes, or today. After you select the option, you can reaccess the app without further actions like inputting the Screen Time passcode.

Part 3. Failed Attempts to Hack Screen Time on iPhone

Our test machine is an iPhone X that runs iOS 15. When we prepared this guide, we found that multiple methods to hack Screen Time on iPhone are provided in some guides. We have tested some and are frustrated by the result. Most of the methods don't work for iOS 15. Below we listed some failed methods.

1. Uninstall and reinstall an app to break App Limits

We set 1 minute as the daily limit for several apps. Then we follow the steps to uninstall these apps and reinstall them from the App Store. When we open them from the screen, We still get the Time Limit notice and can't use those apps. 

2. Change the Time to hack Screen Time

It is said we can hack Screen Time by changing the time on an iPhone. Firstly we need to prevent the iPhone from automatically updating the date and time by disabling the option "Set Automatically" in Settings > General > Date & Time. Apple may fix the issue on iOS 15. The setting is locked automatically after we enable Screen Time on the iPhone. That means we can't edit the settings and manually update the date and time on iPhone. There is no way to make use of time change to hack Screen Time.

The Bottom Line

We have wrapped up two methods in the guide to help you hack Screen Time entirely on an iPhone or get around Screen Time Limits. If you need to hack or bypass the Screen Time passcode on your iPhone, follow our methods. Also, there are some outdated methods on the Internet. If you are running iOS 15, you can skip the two methods in Part 3 to save your time.
