can’t update apps

so, my parents have screen time on my phone and it blocks access to the app store. none of my apps have updated since they turned it on. for example, i went on the app store website to check, and one of my apps hasn’t updated in over a month.

You will need your parents help to update these apps if they have set parental controls on your iPad that prevent you accessing the App Store.
