I’m over 18 and I won’t let me turn on tracking.
I have an app that needs tracking turned on to access certain features, but when I go to tracking I can’t turn it on.

If you cannot sign out it may be that somebody has set restrictions on your account. 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.
- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple ID is greyed out in Settings - Apple Support
Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.
- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.
I’m not able to sign out either does that mean I have a child account? If so how do I change that?
