iOS26 - Content Restrictions for Family Sharing Applying to Parent Device

After updating to iOS26, the content restrictions I set to apply to a child account has actually applied to the parent device. eg restricted websites, restricting on parent device.

Parent device = iPhone 15.

I did a phone reset, the apps came back and within minutes they had disappeared again.

iPhone 15, iOS 26

Is there a resolution to the problem? I have tried disabling content restrictions for my kids account. Now she can access everything on her phone and I can’t access many apps on my phone! Very silly and’s super annoying given that so many apps that I use regularly are now blocked from my use including Brave, Waze, Google, etc.
