Sign-out is not available due to restrictions

We are not apple. we are apple users, apple is not actively participating in these forums

But, if screen time is indeed completely off, is your iPhone managed by a company? Your company's IT department can also put on restrictions on the sign out functionality/

If screen time is completely off and your iPhone is not managed by a company, I would reccommend that you Contact - Official Apple Support to get further support on the issue

I found I had the same issue. Unable to sign out and Screen Time not set up. I went to Focus where I do have a Sleep schedule in place. Turned it off and that fixed it. Focus is buggy and seems this is another bug.

[SOLVED] Sign-out is not available due to restrictions

Hi everyone! 👋 So basically I had the same issue as you when I helped my friend sign in to his Apple ID as his gadget was inaccessible at the moment. So I let him use mine for a few minutes... when I signed out with my Apple ID everything was fine at first. I was prompted to keep a copy of the data and I did... to make it quick and easy to just merge it when I signed in back again.

My friend's Apple ID was successfully signed in and we did what he needed and then here comes the issue when I had to log out his Apple ID from my iPhone... the Apple ID section was greyed out... I came here and followed the steps indicated as well as the possible solutions but nothing worked–well it allowed access to the Apple ID but the signed-out button was greyed out and a prompt "...unable due to restrictions" was under it.

So since I had the latest iPhone and still have Apple Support benefits... I contacted an Apple Advisor and helped me through it but still... nothing worked.

So here's the solution:

After all the tries that didn't work out... I toggled the "share across devices" on the screen time. But I made sure first that all the options under "content & privacy restrictions" are set to "allow" (especially the passcode changes and the account changes).

Do this: Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions> (set all options to "allow") < Go back...> Share Across Devices > On > Restart your iPhone

Hope it solves your issue.

Feel free to comment down below I might be able to assist if I can.

After all the comments that I read here nothing helped. I even talked to support and they wanted me to restart my phone which I wasn’t able to do at the moment and I thought there had to be something different.

I finally figured out what’s wrong. I read somewhere else that it was indeed in my screen time settings. Just wasn’t where people were telling me it was

You have to follow the simple steps

go Settings>Screen Time>content and privacy restrictions> under allow changes go to account changes.

then from there, you turn it off and on and once I did that I was able to log out of my Apple ID

Hi, I just discovered I had this same issue as well. I fixed it by going to my screen time and switching off the screen time passcode that also had my Apple ID account and password saved as a back up to disable screen time settings.

that worked for me! Hope this brings you a resolution

I tried screen time settings, etc. Only thing that worked was turning off "focus status" in Settings > Focus.

Really makes no sense.

If you are on cellular, make sure in the “Mobile Data” option you have set “Settings” to green. So the “Setting” can use mobile data. For Settings to work, the phones needs to use mobile data. I have not tried this while on a WiFi network but you can try while on It.

I have managed to solve out this problem but turning off the passcode in Screen time menu.

If your Apple ID settings are greyed out this is because of screen time settings. Go to settings>screen time>restrictions>make sure that allow account changes is set to on. After this you can access your Apple ID settings

Key for me was to find the area where you could change the screen time password and just turn it off. I also had a sleep schedule enabled on my iphone and removed it because I was working on this during what I had previously schedule as part of a Focus sleep routine. I didn't have to reboot, once I did those it just enabled the logout button. Do make sure you have the "share across devices" features enabled for those areas.

You may be forced to update the software.

Is screen time completely off? This is strange. First change your Apple ID password to be sure. If restrictions still pop up, please Contact - Official Apple Support to get further support on this issue.

I just experienced this myself and updated the software. Didn’t have to change anything.

Problem solved.
