Apps of the same family being blocked inadvertently
My app allows users to select apps and websites to block using the Screen Time API. Lately I have gotten a bunch of emails from users who say that selecting one app also results in other apps of that family being blocked, even if they aren't selected in the FamilyActivityPicker. The most common example is Facebook. A handful of users have said that they selected Facebook to be blocked, but Messenger will be blocked as well (even though Messenger isn't selected, and they don't want it to be blocked). Does anyone know why this might be happening? It seemed to begin happening awhile ago after allowing users to block websites in addition to apps - not sure if that could have something to do with it.

Shortcut Execution Speed?
Is there anything that can be done to speed up the execution of a Shortcut? There is a Shortcut that many users opt to use with my app that is only effective if it runs immediately - the reality, though, is that it often takes 1-2 seconds for the Shortcut to trigger, rendering it largely useless (the Shortcut is meant to prevent users from being able to disable Screen Time in Settings). Has anyone had success with this, and/or are there other approaches we could be taking?
