To change the family manager on Google, you need to manage parent privileges within your Google Family Group. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the Google Play Store app: Locate and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Access your profile: At the top right, tap on your profile icon. This will open a menu with various options related to your Google account.
- Navigate to Family Settings: Tap on "Settings," then select "Family," and finally, tap "Manage family members." This will take you to the family management section.
- Manage Parent Privileges: Tap on "Manage parent privileges." This option allows you to add or remove parent status for members of your family group.
- Choose Parent(s): Select the person you want to add or remove as a parent.
- Confirm Your Changes: Tap "Confirm." This action will send an email notification to the involved parties, confirming the change in parent privileges.
Keep in mind that only the current family manager can remove themselves. To do this, they must first transfer family manager status to another adult in the group. If the current family manager is the only adult, they will need to invite another adult before they can transfer the role.
Important Considerations:
- Transferring Family Manager Status: If you want a different adult to be the Family Manager, the current Family Manager needs to transfer the role. This often requires inviting another adult to the family group first.
- Google One: If the family is sharing Google One storage, be aware that the Family Manager is responsible for the payment method. Transferring family manager status also transfers this responsibility.
By following these steps, you can successfully change the parent privileges and effectively manage your Google Family Group.
