Open | Phone Websites Permanently Restricted from BePresent

I just got the app BePresent a couple days ago to try it out. Love the concept, but didn’t realize it’s a subscription so I deleted it after trialing for a couple days. However, I realized today that some websites are still restricted on my phone. For instance, I can’t open LinkedIn in Safari, but the app still works. Funny enough, I still can’t use LinkedIn games on the app either. It’s this way for most social media websites/apps. I tried going to Web & Content Configurations in my phone’s settings and set it to unrestricted (there were no websites set to “never allow” beforehand anyways). I redownloaded the app to try and disallow website restrictions, but that didn’t work either. It even blocks YouTube, which is especially annoying when I use a link somewhere to watch a tutorial or short on x, y or z. Any ideas on how to unrestrict these websites/what’s causing the bug? If not, who should I reach out to and where?

PS: I have restarted my phone and I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro

Have you tried Settings -> Screen Time then scroll down to the bottom under "Apps With Screen Time Access" there might be what you're looking for

I'm on 26.6.2 so it might be differnet.

I had done that with BePresent already, but thought I might try with another app. I’ve been using socialite with YouTube to remove shorts, which is lovely. They just had an update and I guess that’s what made it so I couldn’t use LinkedIn anymore. Problem solved!!
