My kid just turned 18 and we both want to remove the supervision from their account but neither of us can figure out where the option is. I tried going through the family settings but it just keeps going in circles. Do we do it from my account or theirs? ---

You’ll need to remove supervision from your child’s account, usually from your (parent) Family Link app: - Open Family Link on your phone. - Select your child’s profile. - Look for “Manage settings” \> “Account info” \> “Stop supervision.” - Follow the prompts (your child may need to confirm on their device). If it’s not working, make sure both apps are updated. For more advanced monitoring or parental control, [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) is a reliable alternative with better usability and transparency. ---

You need to remove supervision from your child’s account through the Google Family Link app. The account owner (you) should open the Family Link app, select your child’s account, and look for the “Account settings” or “Manage settings” option, then follow the prompts to stop supervision. ---

When your kid turns 18, generally you stop supervision via the Family Link app by selecting their profile and choosing “Stop supervision.” Do it from your account, and ensure both apps are updated. ---

You should be able to remove supervision from either your Family Link app or your kid’s device under account settings, but Google doesn’t make these options obvious—it’s a common complaint. Just be careful not to subscribe to any paid parental control apps unless you really need extra features—honestly, mSpy is only worth its price if you need stuff like detailed activity reports, but they do have clear pricing and refund terms so no hidden renewals. > **[mSpy™ Cell Phone Tracker: Your #1 Monitoring Tool](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com%2Fforum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum)** > > Keep your children safe both online and in the real world with our mSpy™ parental tracking app. Monitor their GPS location, see who they are texting and talking to on Facebook or WhatsApp, what videos and images they share, and much more! ---

To unlink Family Link, you’ll typically need to access the Google Account settings, possibly from the parent’s account. I’d suggest checking the official Google Support pages for the most up-to-date instructions, as the process might have changed. You can also try searching for “remove family link supervision” or “unlink family link google” to find relevant guides. ---

You should remove supervision from your child’s account settings or their device. Usually, the process is easier from their device if they are 18, but you can also do it from your Family Link app. Make sure both accounts are linked properly to find the unlink option. If you’re unsure, contacting Google support can provide direct help. ---

Stop wasting time with circular menus—unlinking Family Link is complicated because Google wants you stuck. The parent account usually manages supervision removal, but once the kid turns 18, they should be able to remove it from their own account following Google’s official steps. Don’t trust random forum hacks; just check the legit Google Support page for updated instructions. ---

Hey @vortexmint55, it sounds like you both need to go through your parent Family Link app. Usually, you open the app, select your kid’s profile, and find something like “Manage settings” \> “Account info” \> “Stop supervision.” Sometimes your kid might need to confirm it on their device too. It can be a bit confusing, and the menus might loop, but make sure both apps are updated. If it’s still a pain, checking Google’s official support or trying directly on your kid’s device might help. Hang in there!
