Cannot sign out of kids Apple ID on ipad

i recently set my kids’ iPad up with family sharing. However, I can’t now sign out of the kids’ Apple ID on the iPad as sign out is greyed out and says can’t sign out because of restrictions. I assumed I would be able to do it on my iPhone but I can’t do it there either. I can’t see any option under settings to let me do this. Can anyone help?!

iPad Air, iOS 12

Greetings AndrewLewando,


If you are unable to sign out of the Apple ID, you may need to disable Screen Time.


"Turn on Screen Time

  1. Go to Settings > Screen Time.
  2. Tap Turn On Screen Time, then tap it again.

Select This is My [device] or This is My Child's [device]." Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Rather than turning the feature on, you'll turn it off.


We hope this helps!


Best wishes.
