WhatsApp screen time limit is not working

I had set an WhatsApp App Limit for 2hrs on my child’s phone. However, WhatsApp usage for the day is less than 10mins, and the WhatsApp is locked.

I had checked the downtime as well. It is within the scheduled time.

what went wrong with the settings?

WhatsApp will not open on iPhone unless restrictions are turned off after iOS 26 update My daughter has updated her iPhone to the latest IOS and now can no longer access WhatsApp unless I turn off the content and privacy restrictions!! Which is not what we want as the restrictions are there to keep her safe. Any ideas as to why WhatsApp will no longer open unless the restrictions are turned off?
