Child deleted screen time apk using nugget

My child (13yo) installed Nugget on a computer a deleted some screentime apk on his Iphone SE 22. I still see him in my parental control, but I the time limits are not working anymore, also his screen time does not refresh.

The sleep mode is still working and also I still have to allow any new app installation.

Unfortunately, after that he updated his ios and the error persists there and if you reset and recover the phone it is already with the deleted file.

Is there a way how to put the file back?

Thank you!

Which means he's modified iOS.

Take the phone away from him and get him a dumb phone instead if he absolutely has to have a phone for communication.

He's proven he can't be trusted.

APK files run on Android devices, not iPhones.

If you believe he modified iOS in some way (commonly known as jailbreaking), you should be able to restore it to its original state by putting it in DFU mode and restoring iOS.

I see, it was not an apk file. I just checked and he used the Nugget function disable screen time agent and disable user tracking agent.

When we restore iOS and then he logs into his apple account and restores his data the problem reappears.

And to add to Kilted Tim’s advice, this is definitely a parenting issue you need to deal with. If you can't control a thirteen year old’s use of technology then you have a bigger problem that technology cannot resolve for you.
