For further investigation, could you please provide the following information?

What platform does your Xamarin program run on and what is its API level?

What are your expected behaviors and use cases? For example, do you want to monitor WebView redirect links in your Xamarin program as expected, or do you want to monitor WebView in an external application?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

In Android, this function has been implemented.

I want to use it on iOS.

I want to monitor and filter external Broswer applications.

Can I use iPhone's Screen Time feature through API? Or should I use another method? In the case of other apps that perform the same function, it appears to be going through a VPN, is that correct?

Due to the permission restrictions and security restrictions in iOS, your app is not authorized to listen to external browsers.

Using a global VPN could be a trick because the user's access request is forwarded through the VPN server.
