Hi itsjai09,
We recommend that you try the steps in the link below to learn how to use parental controls on your child's iPhone.
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Allow changes to other settings and features." While this section will show you how to allow changes to privacy settings, following them in reverse order will enable you to restrict these settings.
You can allow changes to other settings and features, the same way you can allow changes to privacy settings.
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
3. Under Allow Changes, select the features or settings that you want to allow changes to and choose Allow or Don't Allow.
Here are some features and settings that you can allow changes for:
* Passcode Changes: Prevent changes to your passcode
* Account Changes: Prevent account changes in Accounts & Passwords
* Cellular Data Changes: Prevent changes to cellular data settings
* Reduce Loud Sounds: Prevent changes to volume settings for safe listening
* Driving Focus: Prevent changes to the Driving Focus
* TV Provider: Prevent changes to TV provider settings
* Background App Activities: Prevent changes to whether or not apps run in the background
We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to use parental controls on your child's iPhone to prevent them from making drastic changes to their device.
Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!
