Why is my Apple Account sign out option grayed out on iPhone?

I remember setting up restrictions some time ago on my I phone XSMax. I tried to sign out of my apple but it is grayed out. I went to screen time➡️content and privacy restrictions➡️ entered my code ➡️shut off content and privacy restrictions. My sign out is still grayed out. HELP!!!

Check these possibilities:


● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is 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.

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.


● Situation where a VPN was preventing action —> Unable to sign out of my Apple ID on my i… - Apple Community
