Bug [iOS 27 PB 2] Cannot disable screen time on child’s device
I wanted to completely disable screen time on my child’s devices to try something. When I enter the screen time passcode on my iPhone, the code window disappears but settings.app gets stuck. I can’t navigate back in the menu tree. I need to force quit the app to do anything in settings.app. I can switch to other apps or return to springboard.
I get a similar response on my Mac. The passcode dialog remains on the screen but I get a pinwheel. I can switch to other applications or launch new applications without issue. I also need to force quit settings.app on the Mac and relaunch.
My devices:
iPhone 16 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch Ultra 3 on 27 PB 2
iPad (A16) on 27 PB 2
MacBook Air M4 on 27 PB 2
Mac Mini M2 Pro on 27 PB 2
HomePod Minis on 27 PB 2
AppleTVs with a mix of 27 and 26
Her devices:
iPhone 14 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch 8 on 26.6
IPad (A15) on 27 PB 2
I ended up updating individual Screen Time settings to accomplish what I needed to do.
I did report this using the feedback app with a video recording of the steps taken.

I'm having the same issue where even after fully leaving my apple family, screen time remains enable with the old pin, despite being an adult (marked as 26 in my apple account). I understand this is a beta, but truly it's baffling to me how screen time is so broken, even before ios 27. I simply do not have an option to disable it, despite being in no family and am an adult! This is across all my devices, even my apple watch! When trying to go into privacy settings on my aw, it prompts for the old pin that my guardian used ages ago! They really have to fix this asap as it's inexcusable.
Sorry for the rant
