I've found it! I went to VPN and device management and there was still Parental Control managing the iPad. I removed it and now JavaScript is enabled. Uninstalling the parental control app wasn't enough. Thank you very much for your interest on my problem and your willingness to help, I appreciate it. Merci beaucoup !

Hi, thanks for your message. Not to my knowledge. I installed a parental control weeks ago, but I uninstalled it 4 days ago thinking that was the problem (I've had this problem for a week). Even with parental control uninstalled, sometimes everything works fine, then I can't activate JavaScript, then the next day it works again. This time everything was working 5 hours ago, then suddenly I couldn't turn on JavaScript... I don't understand it...


I also reset the settings 3 times
