Issue: The search functionality in FamilyActivityPicker has disappeared on iPadOS 26.0+. This feature was working in previous versions but is now missing.

Framework: FamilyControls

Expected: Search bar should be available in FamilyActivityPicker to help users find apps quickly.

Actual: Search functionality is completely missing.

Impact: Makes app selection difficult for users with many installed apps.

Is this a known issue? If it's a bug, please address it in an upcoming update. If intentional, guidance on alternatives would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello @imsk-lnt!

I just tried this myself and I was not able to see the search bar either on iPadOS. This really seems to be a bug.

have you filed a feedback report?

I just did. This is the number for reference: FB22855662

Hope this gets addressed soon!
