Located under the Settings > Screen Time menu, these options give you a better understanding as to how much time you spend using your phone, as well as the different apps within it. If you find yourself spending too much time on certain apps, the new feature also lets you limit your screen time on that specific app. The new feature is fantastic, but a lot of users seem to be having some trouble with the Screen Time Passcode. What can you do if you forget your passcode?

b) Enter Your iOS Restriction Passcode - If you remember this passcode from iOS, you can try using it to log in to screen time.
