2 Fixes for Apple ID Grayed Out on iPhone
Paurush dabbles around iOS and Mac while his close encounters are with Android and Windows. Before becoming a writer, he produced videos for brands like Mr. Phone and Digit. On weekends, he is a full-time cinephile trying to reduce his never-ending watchlist, often making it longer.
Basic Fixes
Fix 1: Check Content and Privacy Settings
If your Apple ID is grayed out in the Settings menu of your iPhone, you should start by checking the Content and Privacy Settings. If you have kids at home, you can restrict what content they can browse and prevent access to adult websites. However, enabling this feature can sometimes lead to your Apple ID getting grayed out. Here’s how to remove the restriction.
OpenSettings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Disable the feature.
We also suggest putting no limits on web content under Screen Time.
OpenSettings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content > Unrestricted.
Fix 2: Disable Screen Time
If you cannot access your Apple ID on your iPhone, we suggest disabling Screen Time altogether. Screen Time records your iPhone screen time usage and helpsblock websites like YouTube. You can try removing Screen Time and check if that solves the problem.
OpenSettings > Screen Time > Turn Off Screen Time.
