New Private Window on safari not available

Hello, as the subject stated I can't open private window on safari. I tried it with google chrome and was able to do it. I also found out that when I tried to delete all cookies from safari preferences, I was not able to do it. I would click "remove all" and nothing would happen. I don't know if that has something to do with it.


The screenshot below shows how the private window is not available for safari.

Yes so on screen time, I had put a put a restriction on social media websites like instagram.com . Under content & privacy, I clicked limit adult website and restricted those social media websites. This is the only change I made. I turned off "content & privacy restrictions " and I was able to open up the private window.


Is there a way to still open up the private window, while still having websites as limited access? Like I want to make sure I can still use private window but at the same time have those social media websites blocked
