To turn off Family Safety for your child based on the provided guidance, you will typically need to manage the child's account sign-out process and then address device-specific settings. This method involves disabling a particular application on the device that might be enforcing Family Safety controls.
Here are the steps outlined in the reference:
Steps to Disable Family Safety via Device Settings
Disabling Family Safety often requires signing out the child's account first, potentially involving actions within your family group settings, followed by adjusting device-level permissions for a specific application.
-
Sign Out the Child's Account:
- The first step involves signing out your child's account.
- Important Note: Depending on your child's age, obtaining organizer approval might be required to sign out or remove the child's account from the family group ("Remove members or leave your family group").
-
Access Device Admin Apps:
- Once the child's account is signed out from the relevant service or device, open the Settings on the device where Family Safety controls are active.
- Use the search function within Settings to search for Device admin apps. This section lists applications that have special privileges to control device functions.
-
Select Family Safety:
- In the list of Device admin apps, find and Select Family Safety. This is the specific application that is enforcing Family Safety rules on the device.
-
Deactivate the App:
- After selecting Family Safety, you will see options for that specific app.
- Choose Deactivate. This action removes the administrative privileges from the Family Safety app, thereby turning off its ability to enforce controls on the device.
Following these steps, particularly deactivating the Family Safety device admin app after signing out the child's account, will disable the controls managed by that application on the device.
