Why can't I turn on ChatGPT on my iPhone 16?

New iPhone 16, fully updated as of March 15, can't turn on ChatGPT. When I got to Settings/Apple Intelligence & Siri, the ChatGPT is listed under the sub-heading EXTENSIONS, which is grayed out. It's also listed as Off, and won't let me click it on.

I turned on "Apple Intelligence" at the top of this screen. However, lower on this same screen, beneath the ChatGPT label, is the following caption: "Your parent or guardian has turned off ChatGPT integration features on this iPhone."

Is there are different way to turn on ChatGPT on the iPhone 16? (I don't have a ChatGPT account but I'm assuming these new phones should be able to use it, anyway.)

Is this "Your parent or guardian has turned off ChatGPT integration features on this iPhone." not the case here?

Dang I totally missed that part.

FWIW, the “summarize” function also spots it, as meta as that might be here:
