Add a parent to your family group

If you're the family manager, you can add a parent to your family group.

Add or remove a parent

To add someone as a parent to your family group, they need to be 18 or older and be in your family group.

If the family manager added you as a parent, you can remove your parent privileges.

Open the Play Store app .
At the top right, tap the profile icon.
Tap Manage your Google Account People & sharing Manage your family group.
Choose the parent whose privileges you want to remove.
Tap Remove parental privileges.

Parents have most of the privileges the family manager has, which include these privileges:

Use Family link to manage a child’s Google Account. This includes settings that manage Google activity, screen time, and location.
Approve Google Play purchases or downloads made with the family payment method if purchase approvals are on.
View family member purchases made with the family payment method.
Change family members' purchase approval settings on Google Play.
- Purchase approval settings apply only to purchases made through Google Play's billing system.

Only the family manager can:

Add or remove family members
Add or remove a second parent
Delete the family group
Subscribe to family services like the Google Play Music family plan
Add or edit the family payment method
Create, delete, or recover a deleted Google Account for a child under 13 or the applicable age in your country
