Child account has too many restrictions or not enough
Parental controls are set separately on each family member's account, and the rules are different on Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Go to your parental controls settings on your device and look for your child's account in the family management area. You can adjust restrictions from there — it takes just a few minutes.
Child accounts let you control what your children can do on their devices. You set things like app limits, screen time, and what content they can see. If the restrictions feel too tight or too loose, you can adjust them without the child's device — it all happens in your settings on your main account.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Looking in the wrong place because each brand (Apple, Google, Microsoft) has parental controls in different locations
- Thinking you need to adjust the child's account directly — you change restrictions from your main account, not theirs
- Not realizing that changes take a few minutes to sync to the child's device
Signs you need professional help
- You can't find where to adjust restrictions no matter where you look
- The changes you make aren't showing up on your child's device after waiting a few minutes
- Your child's account was set up by someone else and you don't know which brand or system it uses
