I can’t access #images while my screen is on downtime and I tried to edit the always allowed apps and it still didn’t work. Any idea how to work around that?
for further information: I have never been able to access #images while I’m in downtime. I have to turn off downtime to be able to use it. I am up to date on the latest software iOS 15.6.1.
iPhone 11, iOS 15
