Removing parental control on a Samsung phone can be a bit of a challenge, but don't worry, I'm here to guide you through it.

First, you'll need to access the Settings app on your Samsung phone. From there, navigate to the "Users" or "Accounts" section, depending on your phone's model.

To disable parental control, you'll need to remove the child account from your phone. This will require you to enter the child's PIN or password, so make sure you have that information handy.

Once you've removed the child account, you can then disable the parental control features, such as app restrictions and screen time limits.

Disabling Parental Controls

To turn off parental controls on your Samsung phone, you'll need to navigate through the settings. Tap Settings on your Samsung device to begin the process.

If you manage your child's account with Google Family Link, you can disable supervision by opening the Family Link app on the parent's phone or tablet. The Family Link app is the white icon with blue, yellow, and green flags.

To remove parental controls in the Play Store, tap Account Info in the Family Link app. A warning message will appear, and you'll need to tap Stop Supervision to confirm.

You can also turn off parental controls through the Google Play Store app on Android. Open the Play Store app, scroll down, and tap Parental Controls under the "User controls" header.

To disable parental controls using the Google Play Store, you'll need to enter your four-digit PIN. If you don't have the PIN, you'll have to clear the app's data, which will erase your search history and parental control settings.

If your child is over 13, you can disable all supervision by skipping the steps to remove parental controls in the Play Store. To do this, tap Account Info in the Family Link app and then tap Stop supervision.

You can still edit parental controls to be less restrictive, even if your child is younger than 13. To do this, open the Family Link app, tap on the child's account, and then tap Manage settings.

Two Answers

If you're trying to remove Parental Controls on a Samsung phone, you have two main options to consider.

The first option is to factory reset the device, which is a last resort since it will erase all data and settings. This is necessary if you can't remember the PIN or if you're seeing an error.

If your child's device has Android 7.0 or higher, they can also turn off supervision themselves, but you'll be notified and their device will lock temporarily if they do so without your permission.

To stop supervision on your child's device, follow these steps:

  1. On your child's device, open Settings.
  2. At the top right, tap More > Stop supervision.
  3. To verify you are a parent, sign in or use your Parent Access Code.
  4. To turn off supervision, follow the on-screen instructions.

Alternatively, you can create a new profile by allowing multi-user and then sign in your own account in that new profile, which can be done by searching for 'user' from the phone settings app.
