Apple launched the major update 13.3 days ago in order to fix some bugs and bring some new features to iPhone users (improvements and features of the new update can be learned. from hereOne of those features was “Communication Limits”, which are restrictions that were added to the device's duration of use or screen time feature to help parents control what children do on the iPhone. And as previously found loopholes in Screen Time limits -this link- Time to find a loophole in the limits of communication.
The communication limits feature allows parents to control who the child can call and communicate with via messages or FaceTime and impose restrictions that prevent communication with strangers, but a loophole was discovered through which these restrictions can be bypassed, which makes the new feature useless.
What is the loophole
Since the new restrictions in the Screen Time feature prevent children from communicating with anyone who is not in their contacts, CNBC discovered that if the child receives a message from an unknown number, an option will appear for him to add this number to the contact list, and once the strange number is added, You can easily contact and communicate with him without a problem.
And according to CNBC, if the new feature works properly, it should not allow the child to add the strange number to the list until after the PIN has been entered by the parents.
It should be noted that this vulnerability does not work when activating the option "Downtime" or downtime, a feature that allows parents to set applications that the child can use during a specific period of time.
Also, if the child has an Apple smart watch, he can call any numbers and message them through the Siri voice assistant, even if those numbers are not present in their contacts.
How to fix the screen time vulnerability
Apple said that it is aware of the bugs currently in place and is working to fix them, but until then these steps can be used to reduce the impact of the flaw and until the iPhone company launches a new update:
◉ Go to device settings
◉ Then open Contacts
◉ Then choose a default account
◉ Then change the default account to any cloud
Thus, the contact list is forced to sync with iCloud because this problem occurs when contacts are synchronized with other services such as Gmail.
Finally, CNBC found a few other errors while testing the new parental control features where a problem appeared of blocking random numbers in contacts without any reason and another problem that caused the inbox to become unreadable.

An easy loophole that can be overcome in the near future ... Thank you, Yvon Aslam team
You are the big shame ..
And the beginning of insults and insulting of parents began with you ..
Whenever I write a comment criticizing or thanking Apple, I find your responses boring, both you and your side ..
Do you have international standards and assessments to work with by insulting everyone who uses Android devices ..
And let you know, son of my country, that there are brains with countless positions and technical brains that use Android ..
These are love issues that are up to the user, as he is the one who determines which device or system to use.
Not everyone who uses an expensive piece of metal is conscious, wealthy, and educated is a wrong idea, and you may find that he does not even know his phone number.
If we searched in your house, we would find the fingerprint of China present from the floor to the ceiling. Enough arrogance and stubbornness ..
I dare you, if you can, not to text or call anyone using an Android phone, whether from your family, relatives or friends, even in Holon for Apple devices.
No meanings, then howl to live as you want among different people, apply them to work with your ideas, and force them to love your beloved, the apple.
We do not blame you for cheering and drumming for your forbidden love, Apple .. you are free
But to insult and ridicule everyone who disagrees with you, it is not logical, and it is not one of the values of Islam.
Greetings
Mustapha Phone
I want and I want
What do you want a shoelace
Patience, brother Ramzi, do not hurry to make a decision while you are excited, and continue to defend without aggression, and we are all insured of lack of fairness in the responses, as there are people who start insulting and insulting, and when you decide to respond to them, your response is deleted and the aggressor continues in his comments without deletion.
In any case, iPhone Islam deserves support and we consider them to be friends of the trust, and for me I will spoil the aggressor's face without hesitation because I am tired of their boring, subjective comments.
The presence of a company other than Apple in this world, specialized in technical communications, is a great loophole, so how about several companies !?
And you are preparing a loophole in gem technical devices !?
The update is still not stable as before, how to be completely free of problems
Two or three days after the update, a circle appeared on the screen, and I could not delete it
My brother and our friend Hamza on the subject of deleting comments, we are now deleting all inappropriate comments, not just your side, but for all of our site's friends, hoping not to repeat any comment that offends anyone, whatever differences we think and our tendencies towards a particular company. We here on the site want to benefit all our friends without offending or insulting any One side or person, please everyone to accept the other and hear the opinion and opinion of the other
Thank you
What is happening to Apple is a strange thing, why all these updates and disasters are usually less and more accurate in the update. Now, disasters and errors in the bulk system ,,,,
I suspect a large number of supported devices in the update
Unlike the situation previously
Apple used to release one iPhone every year and currently three
God knows best
Thank you, Zamen Team..🙂
Yes, Apple is quick with updates, but it does not know that speed kills..🙄
Apple said that it knew about the matter, and if it was true, as it claimed, it would have solved the problem before launching the update, but it is urgent without reviewing it.
Soon, we will see a minor update that solves previous problems or an increase in the problems who knows .. 🤔
We have got better version 13.2.3 ..
It is not appropriate, brothers, that we see everyone is free about what Apple or Android wants. Both are wonderful phones. We Arabs do not produce an empty sardine box and we quarrel, I am better than you because I use an iPhone or vice versa. Enough is nonsense. Not only years, but I also know that Android, Samsung and other phones are very wonderful phones, and I do not forget to thank iPhone Islam for its valuable topics.
