When access to Messages is disabled via App Limits, devices using iCloud for Screen Time are not able to send or receive messages during downtime. You can disable access to Messages and FaceTime, but you might not want to. For apps like Messages or FaceTime, you need to edit the "Always Allowed" section of Screen Time to remove them for the limit to be enabled. There is no option to turn off access to the Phone app at all. You can passcode lock any app on your phone except for the Phone app. There's no way to immediately lock it again after approving it for 15 minutes without redoing the entire App Limit setup, so keep that in mind. You'll need to put in your passcode, and then once you do, you can unlock it for 15 minutes, an hour, or the rest of the day. Once you have App Limits in place to lock apps you want to be inaccessible, you can tap on "Ask for More Time" to access the app. There is no way around the passcode, which prevents anyone who has access to your iPhone from opening up and using the app that's been passcode blocked. You can continue to use the app for one minute, but after that, you'll need to enter your Screen Time passcode to continue to use the app. When the time limit that you've set expires, you'll be told you've run out of time. Otherwise, exit the Screen Time interface. If you want to add additional apps, go through the "Add Limit" steps again.At the slider where you select the time, choose 1 minute.Tap on the app that you've picked and then tap Next. If you want to lock the Photos app, it's in the "Creativity" category.
