I have parental controls activated on my child’s iPhone. I authorized them to download an app, the app did download but now it won’t open. I was able to open it on my phone so it must have to do with the parental controls. Is there a way to authorize a specific app? I found the Allowed Apps section in Content and Privacy restrictions, but none of the downloaded apps are listed there.
iPhone SE (Gen 3)
