iTunes & App Store Purchases Glitch Malfunction

I am on an iPhone 15 Plus, running iOS Version 18.3.

I have “Installing Apps” turned off under Screen Time > Privacy & Content Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases, while “Deleting Apps” and “In-App Purchases” remain enabled.

However, this setup causes a glitch where “In-App Purchases” are blocked despite the setting being turned on. I want to prevent app installations while still allowing in-app purchases. It seems that disabling “Installing Apps” unintentionally overrides the “In-App Purchases” setting.

Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

Are you in a Family Sharing group?

If you’re in a Family Sharing group, you can view and download eligible apps purchased by other family members.

Note: You can see purchases made by family members only if they choose to share their purchases. Purchases made with Family Sharing may not be accessible after the family member leaves the family group.

Try to make a new subscription for a new App on your device.
