Greyed-out Apple settings may occur due to restrictions or network issues. Check if Screen Time or restrictions are enabled under Settings > Screen Time. This could block changes. If using a corporate device, administrator policies might apply. Network issues can also limit settings changes; try switching to a stable Wi-Fi network. Finally, ensure your device is logged into iCloud correctly, as incorrect credentials can affect settings access. By addressing these factors, full access to settings should be restored.
