Screen Time iMessage Conflict

When I turn on my screen time, why does it sign me out of my iMessages? No child restrictions, just restriction that things like passwords can't be changed in the event that I lose my phone. I'm not sure what the conflict is with the two but I can't afford to miss important messages while trying to protect myself.

I don't think the above has any linkage to iMessage de-activation.


However, you do not need Screen Time Restrictions to prevent Apple ID password change. It can't be changed if you have 2 factor authentication turned on.
