Parental Control Lock Actions

These blocks change Device Control rules or request work on the registered device. The toolbox uses the name Parental Control Lock Actions. Configure the underlying device feature and its permissions first; a program does not bypass ownership, trust, self-control, or subscription checks.

Set the daily limit in hours or minutes.

extra screen time today

Add the supplied hours/minutes to today's allowance. This is separate from changing the recurring daily limit.

Set a usage window with 24-hour HH:mm start and end times.

Content Shield​

Content Shield mode on/off

Choose A — Browser, B — AI apps, or C — Family VPN. Requires an active Content Shield subscription.

Content Shield filter groups

Select female exposed, female covered, and/or male exposed body-part groups and turn them on/off. Faces are separate.

Content Shield filter

Turn one selected category on/off.

At least one Content Shield filter must remain enabled. See Content Shield for mode setup and device behavior.

Example: notify before allowance expires​

In Events, add when screen-time remaining falls below with duration 15 minutes. Put send notification in its body and target the wearer. This tests the threshold path without changing any restrictions. If you later add extra screen time today, remember that it changes today's allowance and can affect future threshold crossings.
