Screen time prevents app updates

screen time is preventing automatic app updates if the App Store content setting is set to anything but Allow All.


i don’t want my children to have access to Inappropriate content but I want the apps to automatically update.


Is there a way to make happen?


thanks for any help.

Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. Scroll down and choose your child's name under Family. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue. Set up Downtime, App Limits, and Content & Privacy with the limitations that you want for your child, or tap Not Now.
