In the context of Screen Time on iPad, when you set an App Limit for a specific category like "Entertainment" that includes blocking the YouTube website, adding YouTube to the allowed websites list under Website Content should ideally exempt it from the App Limit restriction. However, if you are experiencing issues where Safari continues to block YouTube despite adding it to the allowed list, there might be a few factors to consider:I'm using Screen Time on the iPad. I have selected some sections in App Limit. For example, I selected "Entertainment" in App Limit, which blocks the YouTube website. Under Website Content, I can allow or block specific websites, but adding the YouTube website to the allow section didn't work, and Safari still blocked YouTube. Does this mean that a website cannot be permanently excluded from App Limit?
1. **Syncing Delay**: Sometimes changes made to Screen Time settings, including allowed websites, may not take effect immediately due to syncing delays. It's possible that the changes you made need some time to sync across devices.
2. **Browser Cache**: Safari may be caching the website block even after you've added it to the allowed list. Clearing the browser cache on Safari could potentially resolve this issue.
3. **iOS/iPadOS Bugs**: There could be a bug or glitch in the iOS/iPadOS system that is preventing the allowed website list from functioning correctly. In such cases, updating your device to the latest version of iOS/iPadOS or contacting Apple Support for assistance might help.
If you've tried the above steps and are still facing issues with permanently excluding a website from the App Limit in Screen Time, it might be worth exploring alternative solutions or reaching out to Apple Support for further troubleshooting.
