You can change your child's Family Link account information directly through the Family Link app. Here's how:

Steps to Modify Family Link Account Information:

  1. Open the Family Link app: Locate and open the Google Family Link app on your device (parent's device).

  2. Select Your Child: On the Family Link home screen, choose the child whose account information you want to modify.

  3. Access Account Settings: Tap on "Controls" and then "Account settings". After that select "Account info." This section contains options for changing details.

  4. Edit Account Information: In the top right corner, tap "Edit".

  5. Modify Details: You can now change your child's account information such as:

    • Name
    • Birthday
    • Gender
    • Password (if required and permitted)
  6. Save Changes: Once you've made the necessary changes, tap "Save" in the top right corner to apply the updates.

Important Considerations:

  • Some changes might require verification or parental consent. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process.
  • Changing the birthday might have implications for the child's account restrictions. Review the restrictions carefully after making such a change.
  • It is recommended that you involve your child in the process where age appropriate.
