granular control over push notifications would be great

see: recent article about Snap sending pushes to kids during school hours

Screen Time let's you turn off notifications.

I have all notifications on my phone off, except for phone calls

yeah of course, it's all or nothing though. i have a 14 year old who is supposedly in a "no phones allowed" school, but they're on them all the time anyway (this is a separate issue)

being able to setup a schedule with only approved apps being able to deliver pushes during a particular time period would be great

which ones do u want to keep

thank you for asking, it helped me realize i was probably using downtime within screen time wrong and it can probably get me what i really care about during school hours

How about not installing/allowing a grooming chat app in the first place?
