This is most likely due to content restriction through screentime. Follow these steps:


  • go to settings>screentime>content & privacy restrictions
  • Scroll down to "account changes"
  • Make sure account changes is set to allow


If your device screentime is managed by a parent or guardian, you'll have to ask them to do this.
