iPhone parent controls hacked mystery

Can you shed some light please?

The parental controls I set up for teen DC iPhone have suddenly been switched off this week. I have not switch them off or done an upgrade or a reset. I change the pin quite often so they haven't simply watched and copied me.

The app limits were off. Downtime changed to later eg 1030pm when I set it to 830pm - and on top of that the downtime was completely switched off.

Teen DC denies knowledge of what might have happened and is usually honest so I'm uncertain of how suspicious to be.

This happens to us if they haven't had the latest update installed. Every time a new update is released it messes with the screen time settings until it's updated. It's beyond annoying!
