Idon’t have a App Store.

How can you get App Store back when it is restricted? My screen time is restricted too and I can’t get into screen time. What should I do?


iPad, iPadOS 18

  • The app does not show because of the Screen Time restriction.
  • Are you a member of a Family Plan? If so, you are stuck with the setting until the Organizer changes it.


If you are not in a Family Plan, then you were given the option to enter an Apple Account/Password to use if you forget it. If you skipped that step, you would have seen a warning that continuing will not allow you to reset the Passcode.

The steps are also illustrated here for when you are not a member of a family plan:
