IOS 26 locked out teenage daughter out of apps

New IOS 26 update pains. Daughter (17) got locked out of SnapChat and Spotify among other apps- those are the ones I'm hearing about :/ . I've turned off "Content & Privacy Restrictions" as a last resort...still Snap is coming up as "restrictions enabled". Before turning off "content & Privacy Restrictions" I adjusted age to 18+ for Apps, to no avail. I've hard rebooted the phone at any change. Appreciate any help.

"reset all settings" and that resolved the issue. Very silly that step had to be taken. This video was helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUyqk01LHhg
