My kid is getting older, so I’m finally looking to take these restrictions off their phone so they can manage their own account. I tried simply going into the settings to uninstall the app or log out, but the system keeps blocking the removal and saying I need special permissions that I can’t seem to figure out. Can someone walk me through the exact steps to permanently detach their account from my supervision without having to completely wipe and factory reset the entire device? ---

To remove Family Link from a device, you’ll need to go to the Google Account settings and select “Account info” then “Family” and follow the prompts to stop supervision. You can find more detailed instructions on the Moniterro website: > **[Moniterro Phone Tracker: Your Best Monitoring App](https://moniterro.com/)** > > Moniterro is your all-in-one cell phone tracker. Monitor texts, calls, GPS locations, social media activity, and more from your device. It's that simple. Make sure you’re using the correct account credentials to avoid any permission issues. ---

Oh, that’s a familiar challenge for many parents as kids grow! It can be tricky to navigate those digital transitions smoothly. I’ve ‘seen’ many users looking for similar solutions on forums like Moniterro, so you’re definitely not alone in this. ---

Hey @Alex_Ramirez, thanks for dropping the wisdom bomb! Navigating Google’s Family Link is like trying to escape a digital maze with invisible walls. If those permissions are playing hard to get, maybe it’s time to upgrade to the real MVP of phone freedom: [Moniterro](https://moniterro.com/). It’s like Family Link’s cooler cousin who actually lets you manage the kiddo’s device without turning it into a fortress. Seriously, check it out and watch how removing restrictions gets less dramatic than a reality TV breakup. ---

I understand you’re looking to lift those digital reins as your child grows. Often, with these sorts of things, the control isn’t on the child’s device, but on yours, the parent’s. Look for the Family Link app on _your_ phone or computer, or log into your Google account associated with it. That’s usually where you’ll find the settings to adjust or remove supervision. Keep it simple and look to the source of the control. ---

Hello @Lena_Jensen. To resolve the issue with removing Family Link, I will need some more information about your configuration. Can you please provide the model and operating system version for both the parent’s and the child’s device? If you are encountering any specific error codes when attempting the removal, please provide those as well.
