The tracking tab is greyed out even though I’m over 18. Can I fix this?

The tracking tab in the settings app is greyed out and I don’t know why. I’ve looked at things and it says I I’m under age, I’m over 18 and it still is greyed out. What should I do?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Make sure you have the correct birthday set. If you recently turned 18, try logging out of your account and back in again as suggested in this topic --> App Tracking Age Requirements Issue - Apple Community
