why can’t I download apps on my daughters child’s iPhone 12mini? why can’t I download apps on my daughters child’s iPhone 12mini? I set up a child account for my daughter and it used to allow her to download apps. Now we can’t download any apps. We can view them in the App Store but when I press get, nothing happens. I tried turning off parental control settings and allowing downloads without permission. I restarted the phone a few times. What is wrong?

It's because of the settings, you can allow the app store again.

To change your Allowed Apps:

Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
Enter your Screen Time passcode.
Tap Allowed Apps.
Select the apps that you want to allow.
