Screen time not blocking TikTok

Did anyone ever find a solution to this issue? I have the site blocked, a 1 min per day limit set to block at the end of the time limit and my daughter still has unlimited access to it. I also have a general daily maximum screen time set and it’s not even blocking at that point. It even shows the hourglass next to it as if it’s blocking but it’s not! Further, all other apps are not downloadable without my permission but I did not approve a download for TikTok and it’s still on her phone.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

My son doesn’t even have TikTok installed on his phone but if someone sends him a TikTok through iMessage, he can watch unlimited TikToks. Would love to know why this is all happening?
