Have you checked Settings/Screen Time for any restrictions?


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device


If necessary


Hard reset


You will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.
