PM-005 parental-misconfiguration still active
Why this matters:How to recognise this workaround on your side, and what closes it on your side — without telling you how to do the workaround.
Detection
The Apps restriction was not reviewed after device setup or age change.
Fix (technical)
In Apple Content & Privacy Restrictions, review the published app rating restriction. [apple-parental-controls]
Fix (relational)
Discuss why a rating is a starting point rather than a judgment of the child.
Residual risk
Age labels do not answer every family-specific suitability question.
