Siri web search and app download restrictions active

Restricts web search content with Siri even though that restriction is off.

Also restricts several app downloads even though age limit is set to 18+

I’ve turned off restrictions and left family sharing and restarted device to see if that would change things and it hasn’t.

Wondering whether your iPhone's iOS version is up-to-date:

About iOS 26 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 26.4.1 is the latest.

"This update provides bug fixes for your iPhone"


You can check in Settings > General > Software Updates to see if an update is available.


Please note: If you choose to update it is always wise to back up your iPhone first.


In some countries you may need to prove you are an adult to access adult apps and content (ie: It's the law): See what to do: If you’re asked to confirm that you’re an adult - Apple Support
