Read this support article about how to update the birth date associated with an Apple ID: Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID - Apple Support

There's different ways to change the age on an account depending upon the age of the person, their target age, and the country's age definition of "child".


If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes.

- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.
