TikTok app is Restricted

My TikTok app won’t open because it says it is restricted. It makes it seem like it’s a screen time issue, but I have no screen time restrictions right now. I cannot get it to open at all. I have tried to delete the app, force restart my phone, and nothing will work.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Issue with Screen Time After iOS 26 Update iphone 14 pro ios 26.1 Issue with Screen Time After iOS 26 Update Hello, I am 16 years old and using Screen Time under my parents’ supervision. After updating to iOS 26, I started experiencing several issues. First, my app usage time is being recorded as website links instead of the actual apps. Second, even when I still have plenty of available Screen Time remaining, apps suddenly become blocked. Sometimes, when I open a specific app, other unrelated apps also get blocked. If I turn my device off and on and unlock it repeatedly (around ten times), the apps eventually become accessible again, but this is extremely inconvenient—especially when I need to do something important or quickly. Additionally, I would like to mention that currently, when I delete an app, the related Screen Time usage history is removed as well. I prefer this behavior to remain unchanged. While resolving the issues I reported above, please ensure that this specific behavior—deleting an app also deleting its usage history—does not change. Please look into these issues and provide a fix. Thank you.

Turn screen time off completely by going to Settings > Screen Time, and scroll to the bottom of the page and tap "Turn Off Screen Time". If it is already off, then post a screen shot of that portion of the page, so we can see what options you have.
