Hello, I’ve encountered an issue with app tracking, or rather tracking of apps. When I go into the Privacy & Security settings and click on the tracking button, it then tells me that I don’t meet the minimum age requirement and that I can’t enable app tracking, even though I’m already 18 years old.

Are you still under 18 "by birth year"? Not your actual birthday but by year.

Does the birthday of your Apple ID match your actual birthday? That is, does your Apple account reflect that you're 18 or older? Is your phone a managed device by another entity?
Unable to turn on app tracking on my iPhone despite being 18 years old
