You can change or delete an App Limit at any time from its ⋯ menu. Both work straight away, with no waiting.

Change a limit

  1. On Home, swipe to the App Limits card and tap it.

  2. Tap ⋯ on the limit, then Edit limit.

  3. Add or remove apps. To change the daily time or the days, tap Time limit or Schedule at the top.

  4. Tap Set Limit to save.

Saving unlocks any app the limit had locked today. If an app is already over its new limit, it locks again shortly.

To change which days count as Weekday or Weekend, open Schedule and tap the day circles. This changes the days for all your Weekday or Weekend limits.

Delete a limit

  1. Tap ⋯ on the limit, then Delete limit.

  2. On "Delete this limit?", tap Delete.

The apps go back to unlimited use, and anything the limit locked today unlocks straight away. Deleting can't be undone. If you want the limit back later, you'll need to set it up again.

If a limit just feels too tight, you could give it more time instead of deleting it.
