Unable to toggle Safari iOS extensions on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I am unable to toggle any Safari iOS extensions that I install. They are stuck in whatever position they install as, and I cannot modify them. This means in most cases that I can’t use the extension because I can’t enable it.

The toggles are greyed out permanently like this:

Same thing in Safari settings:

I have done extensive research on this issue and have tried everything I could find. This includes disabling all restrictions, restarting my phone, and even doing a full reset of my iPhone settings. Nothing has worked. I’d love to find a solution to this so that I can actually use browser extensions in safari.

I am using an iPhone 15 pro max on the latest iOS (at the time of writing this) version 26.5

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26

Go to the app that installed the extension. Many have their own toggle or settings page to enable/disable Safari integration.

Only extensions that use Apple’s official Safari Web Extension framework appear under Settings > Safari > Extensions. Legacy or app‑specific integrations bypass that menu.

Go to Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → [Disable]

As I have already shown in my original post, getting to the page where you can toggle “allow extension” is impossible. And I have already tried disabling restrictions many times to no avail.

I’m trying to make it as clear as I can that I have *already tried these things you are suggesting*.

Please be sure you have read my original post in its entirety before making suggestions. If there’s any further information you need, let me know.
