My name is greyed out in Settings on my iPhone. What should I do?

When I go to Settings, my name is greyed out and I can't click on it. I'm also unable to backup my phone to iCloud or update apps.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

This is most likely caused by screen time restrictions. Go to settings>screen time> restrictions>allow account changes or turn those off


On iOS 16 or earlier go to settings>screen time>content and privacy restrictions and turn those off


After that see if the issue persists
