Hey bojan292,


Thank for the update. Depending on the settings you chose this may be expected if there are age restrictions. Let's get a little more information to help narrow this down.


Which apps are missing?


"while you're setting up Screen Time for a child's device, you can set age-related restrictions for content in apps, books, TV shows, and movies. Just follow the onscreen instructions during setup."

Hi bojan292,


You can allow access to certain app with screen time enabled. To do this, you'll need to adjust settings.


  1. Go to Settings > Screen Time
  2. Tap Always Allowed
  3. Select the apps that you would like to always allow access to even if downtime or limits are enabled


Check out more information on using parental controls on your child's device here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.


Take Care!
