How to resolve Instagram age restriction discrepancy on iPhone?

My son has 13 and is trying to use Instagram app. When he tries is showing there is a restriction of use. I removed the restriction to use this specific app and the only restriction I found is coming from the settings of Apps age. This option is jumping from 12+ to 17+. The Instagram is showing A14 and 12+. Should I let make the setting and let him to use apps for 17+ just to let him use the Instagram? This does not make sense.

Parental Restrictions Reset on Child’s Phone with New Update to IOS 18!! Beware to all parents!!! Please check your child’s phone settings after the IOS 18 update to make sure they do not have unlimited access to everything! All of my child’s restrictions were returned to default (no restrictions at all) when my son updated his iPhone SE.

I can't remove app restrictions in appstore for sons ipad I want to install some apps that I am okay for my son to use. (YouTube, Spotify, minecraft etc) I'm trying to set up his ipad. It has an apple id I have set up for him connected to family sharing. In his screen time setting I have change the content restriction setting for apps to 'Allow all' instead of a lower than 18 age group. I did this on my iPhone On his ipad it still has the option to download the apps inwant greyed out saying ita age restricted even though I've turned them of. Does it take a while to sync the new settings to his ipad or something? Also another issue - I have set a pin for the screen time settings. It works fine on my iPhone when I want to make changes for his screentime settings. But on the ipad itself it says its incorrect every time. It is 100% the same passcode I'm typing in. Would really appreciate any help. Driving me crazy If you can't get apps then the ipad is next to useless, he's just going to want my phone the whole time!
