The subscription area on my settings is grayed out and won’t allow me to see my subscriptions. Why would that option be taken away? Now I can’t turn off a weekly $30 subscription! Help!

I have been trying to turn off a subscription for days and nothing is working. In fact, I can’t even click on my name in settings to see what subscriptions I currently have. That area is completely grayed out while a dating app is charging me $30 a week! Please help me!

iPhone XR, iOS 15

If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes.

- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.
