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.

I followed the same steps to turn off screen time and allow in account changes but it still wouldn’t let my sister sign out. We have Family sharing set up & I am the organizer. I went into my settings on my phone and selected my sisters name and scrolled all the way down and selected “ stop managing screen time “ then I went back to my sisters phone to sign out and it worked
