I set up my child’s account with the wrong age by mistake and now the parental controls are too strict, but I can’t find any way to edit the birthdate in the app or settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Yeah this is a known headache with Google Family Link — Google doesn’t let you edit the birthdate directly once the account is created, which is honestly annoying for exactly this kind of honest mistake. Your best bet is to contact Google Support directly and explain it was a data entry error, they can sometimes fix it on the backend. If that goes nowhere, the nuclear option is deleting the child account and recreating it with the correct birthdate, which is a pain but it works.
