one sec isn’t really bullet-proof w/ iOS 26.4

Bug Reports🍏 iOSApr 28

I know this isn’t really a one sec issue, but since a feature page was created titled “Making one sec truly bullet-proof with iOS 26.4” and it stated y’all worked with Apple on the feature, I figured I post here and maybe y’all can work with them again.

While the toggle for Apps with Screen Time Access is locked behind the Screen Time passcode in Settings > Screen Time, if you go to Settings > Apps > one sec, you can just turn off Screen Time Restrictions which just needs your iPhone passcode/Face ID (not the Screen Time passcode).

I hate that I found it but hopefully y’all can work with Apple and they can fix soon.

Hi @CuriousDumbo, @Nobroo282, @Marcel Geisler and @Robert Sicoli,

great news! This bug seems to be finally fixed in the latest iOS 27 beta. You can no longer turn the screen time toggle off on one sec’s iOS settings page!

So this button won’t be visible anymore, no option to toggle it off or on from here?
Also do you know if this is for every app or just one sec?

  Just checked, the button is still there, but needs your Screentime Code now to toggle off!

Hi there, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are aware of this problem – and already in contact with Apple about this! I’ll keep you posted as soon as I know more.

There is another one like this – built into one sec. If you go to screen time glitch in the preferences you can reconnect to Screen Time – or not. Unfortunately you need this option.

Easy way to surpass locking the Screen Time settings.

Unfortunately I found an easy way to disable the Screen Time Settings, even if you block the shortcut app and go into a strict block. You can just swipe down in the menu, press WLAN settings and open the settings this way. If you do it like that, you can disable the Screen Time Lock which is very unfortunate.

Settings block during strict block bypass
If you have the shortcut setup where opening settings during a strict block opens one sec, you can just open control center, click the WiFi settings and then open settings, which then allows you to disable one sec, change screen time settings, etc. idk if this is solvable but this would be an amazing feature.

Hi, does the new iOS Screentime Lock solves this for you?

  Yes, as a workaround it totally works and this way it even allows to still have the settings app in a usable state.

Screen time lock not working for app settings
The screen time password does not actually block the app settings for one sec. „screen time restrictions“ toggle can be freely disabled only requiring face id.
If you have a password lock on screen time it should also apply here, otherwise this is a very easy way to just disable any restrictions.

one sec isn’t really bullet-proof w/ iOS 26.4
