Apps unavailable after 18.1.1 update

My iPad updated to 18.1.1 last night and now my downloaded apps are unavailable. When I go to the App Store and touch ‘open’ by each app, a message pops up that says ‘restrictions enabled’, but I do not have any restrictions in place. I have restarted, turned restrictions on and off again, every trick I can find on the internet and nothing is clearing this up. Help!

iPad (9th generation)

Just to be sure that we are all on the same page...


Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:


  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases - set to Allow
