Title: Screen Time Content & Privacy Restrictions won’t change on my iPad mini 6
Hi everyone,
I’m having a problem with Screen Time on my iPad mini 6, and I’m hoping someone can help me fix it without erasing my iPad.
After trying my Screen Time passcode about 10 times, my Content & Privacy Restrictions stopped working properly.
Here is what happens:
- The main Content & Privacy Restrictions switch briefly turns grey, then goes straight back to green.
- The options inside App Store, Media, Web & Games, including Web Content, also won’t save changes.
- The Add Website button doesn’t respond.
- Other parts of Settings and Screen Time still work.
- App & Website Activity is off.
- I can’t remember the Screen Time passcode, and I can’t find a passcode recovery option.
- My Screen Time page shows neither Change Screen Time Passcode nor Manage Screen Time.
- My mother is the Family Sharing organiser, but she can’t see my Screen Time settings under Family. I want to remain in Family Sharing.
I’ve restarted my iPad, checked for software updates, and checked VPN & Device Management. There is no update available and no management profile installed. My Apple Account birthday is correct.
Has anyone experienced this, or know how I can recover the passcode and fix the restrictions without losing my data or leaving Family Sharing?
Thanks!
