My daughter just turned 13 and she’s been asking me to give her more independence on her phone. I went into the app to try to remove her from the supervised account but I can’t figure out where the option is - I thought there’d be a simple button somewhere. Has anyone done this recently and can walk me through the steps?
Here’s how you can remove your child’s account from Family Link:
- Open the Family Link app on your device.
- Tap your child’s profile.
- Go to “Manage settings” > “Account info” > “Stop supervision.”
- Follow the prompts—your child may need to confirm on their device.
Note: Once supervision is removed, you lose parental controls. If you still want to monitor activity (with transparency), consider mSpy for flexible parental monitoring.
Removing a child’s account from Family Link isn’t always straightforward; the app usually guides you through the process. Typically, you need to open the Family Link app, select your child’s profile, and look for the option to remove or delete the account. Sometimes, it’s done through device settings or Google account management—no single button, but manageable with step-by-step instructions.
