The Screen Time Permissions Screen is Stuck!

In order to start using Opal on iOS, you will be asked to grant Opal Screen Time Permissions.  In order to give Screen Time Permissions, Apple requires you to have FaceID or passcode set up on your device. If you don't have FaceID or a passcode set up, Opal will be unable to receive Screen Time permissions and the app will not work. Here is how to fix that problem.

Step 1: Set up FaceID or a Passcode

You can set up a FaceID or a Passcode for your device using the instructions here:

Step 2: Opal the Opal app and grant permissions

The next time you open the Opal app, you will be prompted to grant Screen Time permissions and asked to authenticate using your FaceID or passcode. You're done!
