iOS 18.3 causing freeze - preventing access / changes to family management

Sadly not for me

What was the last iOS version where the freeze issue wasn't there? Did it start after the iOS 18.3 update?

Therefore, this suggests that certain device settings need adjustment before attributing the issue to iOS.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Hi,

Update:

1. reset network settings.
2. Disabled 5G. Only use 4G (LTE).
3. Family->Child->Screentime worked

THANK YOU for providing a workaround that isn't "restart your phone" and go straight to doing the "thing".

This worked! Thank you! At least there is a slight work around!

Same here. Was hoping the latest update would fix it. Apple needs to address this bug.

Unfortunately the problem is still there with 18.3.1

Just to add my voice to the chorus I’m

having the same issue. Please fix.

Same! The work around does in fact work (settings > screentime > select kids name) but then the kids devices haven’t updated so I’m not seeing current information.

Me too 18.3.1 the problem not resolved

I am having the exact same issue and when I click on their Apple Cash accounts to see where they’ve been spending it completely kicks me out of my settings all together.

So seems like a hard reset on both iphone devices worked for now.

Mac air was able to control but then reset to freeze mode if I went into my iPhone family.

super frustrating for all!

Unfortunately that’s not working for me. I’ve tried a hard reset and this idea as well. Neither of them worked sadly.

I tried the advice of waiting 5 sec after you go into each area (family, child, screen time…), and that has worked so far.

I’ve had the same thing and haven’t been able to access it in about 2 weeks now
