Stop the ban for under 16’s and change it to 13 or 14
If your wanting to do a ban put it on under 13’s or for under 16’s make it have a screen time limit on the certain apps like 1-2hrs a day and then the rest of the time they can’t have it till next day as a lot of over 13’s are more mature then 16’s so either don’t do the ban or do a screen limit
