How to Sign Out of Apple ID with Family Sharing

It's annoying and worrying when you are in a bind and you can’t sign out of the Apple ID in family sharing.

You should either find that your Apple ID banner is greyed out or the Sign out page shows you "sign out is not available due to restrictions".

Why you can't sign out of Apple ID with family sharing?

It’s quite clear that the account is regulated with major related restrictions in another organizer’s iCloud account, without removing the restrictions, you should not sign out of your Apple ID.

If you still want to sign out of the Apple ID in family sharing, follow the two solutions below.

Solution 1. Ask the Family organizer to turn off Screen Time Restrictions for you.

Turn off The Entire Screen Time.

If you need to quickly turn off specific screen time restrictions, it may be more efficient to disable the entire Screen Time rather than removing the specific restrictions.

Tap Settings > Screen Time. Choose the name under family.

Tap Turn off Screen Time. Enter the screen time passcode to turn off it.

Turn off the restrictions for Apple ID Changing & Screen Time Passcode.

If you don’t want to reset all screen time settings, you can turn off the following two specifications and later turn off the screen time passcode.
