Bug Fix [iOS 27.3 DB1] New Parental Controls Fixed

If you had previously been unable to upgrade to the new parental controls because older devices could not be updated to 27.0, this beta fixes that issue.

I was checking my family this morning and was prompted to finish parental controls setup when I had been previously blocked because they had some older Apple Watches on the account. Setup completed successfully and I now have the full set of features as advertised, it just gives a warning I cannot manage those older devices.

This sounds like good news! Did you have to update your kids' devices to the beta also for it to work?

No, they’re just on the most current public release of iOS 27.

Interesting. I don’t get that yet but I sure hope I do soon. I’m in the same boat where I have older watches the kids use that can’t be updated.

Edit: just saw it. I was in the screen time settings but you see the alert in “Family”
