My teen has been begging me to take it off their phone, and I’m starting to feel a bit guilty. I’ve heard it might be possible through some workarounds, but is there a way to do it that won’t immediately send a notification or flag it for them?
Honestly, removing Family Link will notify the child’s device - Google built it that way on purpose, so there’s no real sneaky workaround that holds up. But here’s the thing: if your teen is old enough to beg you about it, they’re probably old enough to just have a straight conversation about what restrictions you’d ease up on versus what stays. That’s usually way less drama than trying to stealth-remove it, and it builds a bit more trust on both sides.
