I’m 17 and trying to get the parental controls off my phone, but my mom’s set up Family Link on her account. I’ve tried looking in the settings to remove myself but it just says I need admin permission-is there any way to do this without her having to approve it on her end?
Unfortunately, no. To officially remove your account from Family Link, the family manager (your mom) must approve the removal from her device or account. This is a core security feature of Google’s system. However, since you are 17, the supervision will end automatically when you turn 18, at which point you will gain full control.
No — Google requires the family manager’s approval to remove a supervised account, and supervision ends automatically when you turn 18. Talk with your mom about removing it or adjusting limits, and for a simple guide see Spynger.
