How long will it be before we have ScreenTime? Start a FaceTime call and switch to showing what is my screen (sans the image of the other person). Would be useful for support, no?
Well, if you’re on the iPhone, not very useful, because you can only have one app on-screen at a time, and that app would be the phone app. Besides, I rather expect that FaceTime really eats processor power and other resources, so even if you could switch out from the phone app to another app while FaceTime is running, that app’s behavior would be noticeably affected and so not present a realistic performance for the support person.

Yes but Apple could make it work in the background
