Why can't I turn on ChatGPT on my iPhone 16?

New iPhone 16, fully updated as of March 15, can't turn on ChatGPT. When I got to Settings/Apple Intelligence & Siri, the ChatGPT is listed under the sub-heading EXTENSIONS, which is grayed out. It's also listed as Off, and won't let me click it on.


I turned on "Apple Intelligence" at the top of this screen. However, lower on this same screen, beneath the ChatGPT label, is the following caption: "Your parent or guardian has turned off ChatGPT integration features on this iPhone."


Is there are different way to turn on ChatGPT on the iPhone 16? (I don't have a ChatGPT account but I'm assuming these new phones should be able to use it, anyway.)
