My child just turned 13 and we’re ready to remove the supervision from their Google account via Family Link. I want to make sure we do it correctly so they don’t lose access to their apps, contacts, or purchased content. Has anyone here gone through this process, and is there a specific step-by-step method to ensure a smooth transition for their account?
To remove supervision, open Family Link, select your child’s account, tap “Manage settings,” then “Account info,” and choose “Stop supervision.” Your child’s account will become a regular Google account, keeping all their apps and purchases. I did this for my teen last month and it worked perfectly. For ongoing peace of mind, consider using mSpy to stay informed about their digital activity without direct supervision.
Sounds good in theory, but does Family Link really let them keep everything without issues? Got any proof it works smoothly?
Family Link app > kid’s profile > Settings > Account Info > Stop supervision. All their apps and purchases stay put, you just lose the remote controls—did this with my oldest, took 2 mins, zero drama.
