Allow apps to request tracking greyed out

Allow apps to request tracking is still greyed out even with age order 18. I do not have any screen time restrictions or vpn enabled. Signing out of media and purchases fixes this but then I cannot install apps. I am on iOS 26. Does anyone have any fixes? The tracking setting still says that I am too young.

iPhone 16, iOS 26

Have you confirmed your configured birth date?

Thank you for the screenshot.


This is a Restriction Settings:

Screen Time is turned on, or a Configuration Profile is installed allowing this to occur. So, see if you need to reconfigure or turn off Screen Time and/or delete Configuration Protocols. If you parents' device, then you'll need to ask THEM to turn it off, or permit your use of the device --and the same for a business-owned device.


Screen Time Settings:

Turn Off Content & Privacy Restrictions (step three), or proceed from there, if you still need to have these used.

  1. Go to: Settings app
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Tap: Allow Apps to Request to Track
  5. Check: Allow Changes
  6. Click: Back button ">" (top-left corner)
  7. Click: Back button ">"n(top-left corner)
  8. Close: Settings
