My parents set it up on my phone like two years ago and I’m 17 now, they kind of forgot about it but it still blocks certain apps and I can’t change settings without their approval. I tried going through the device settings to unlink it but it just loops me back to needing their permission. Is there a way to get around it or do I just have to ask them to remove it themselves?
Try politely asking them to remove it, as that’s the only official way to do so. Any unofficial method could be considered a violation of terms or potentially illegal.
You need your parents to remove it — Family Link supervision can only be turned off from their Family Link account (or via Google support with proof), and trying to bypass it is risky and usually doesn’t work. Ask them to remove supervision or contact Google, and check Spynger for straightforward, low-cost tools and advice.
