Hi Dulce Lee,


We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that Screen Time is unable to block YouTube, despite the settings being correct.


Please check for a software update and make sure that you are running the latest version of iOS.

While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues. 

Kindly secure a backup and update.
