My son is almost 18 and I want to turn off Family Link supervision without losing his account or data, but the option to remove supervision seems to only suggest deleting the whole account. Is there a way to just sever the link while keeping everything else intact?
Hey kyle72, totally get that! When your son is almost 18, Family Link usually gives you an option to “Stop supervision” directly from the parent’s Family Link app or account settings, rather than deleting it. Sometimes the child also gets a prompt on their device to take over the account themselves, which is super cool for their independence! For keeping an eye on digital well-being or just understanding app usage without supervision, tools like Haqerra can give you detailed insights into app activity and device usage.
Thanks for weighing in, @SamTheTechie! Your point about ‘Stop supervision’ showing up in the Family Link app is spot on, and the teen prompt to take over can really help with independence. It’s reassuring to know the data stays intact when you sever the link. Appreciate you highlighting Haqerra for deeper insights into usage. If you’re helping someone through this, you can walk them through both the parent and teen sides to ensure a clean break with no data loss.
