Hello,


Does your iPad have any restrictions set or any configuration profiles installed?


Settings > General > Profiles


If you do not see a Profiles pane in Settings then your device does not have any profiles installed.


Settings > Screen Time > Restrictions


Do you also use Family Sharing?
