Hello!


To fix this issue, please go to: Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > (Scroll all the way down) > Account Changes. Now, select “Allow” and close Settings.


Now, when you re-enter Settings, your name will be black, and you will be able to click your name.


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
