I’ve completed a Time Change but my Child's device did not change
When you change your Child's access time to Play, Study, School or Sleep time, the change can take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to sync through the internet with your Child's devices.
Check their device has access to the internet
- On your Child's device, open a browser (Safari or Chrome)
- Go to the Family Zone website at https://www.familyzone.com/
- If the website does not load, check the WiFi or Mobile Data settings
If our website loads, continue to the next step
On your iOS or Android phone or tablet, log into the Family Zone app as a Parent.
- Check which Family member is the Device Owner and change it, if required
See or Change a Device Owner - Check the Routine times for Play, School, Study or Sleep. Turn on Play or Study for a short time, if your Child is in School or Sleep time.
Turn On or Approve a Time Change - If only a specific app or website won't load, temporarily sign in as a Parent and try the app or website
