FUCK YOU GOOGLE

I'VE HAD THIS SHIT FOR 3 YEARS AND IT MADE MY LIFE MISREABLE.

WHEN MY PHONE LOCKS (EVERY DAY IN 9PM, OR 11PM ON THE WEEKANDS) TELL MY WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I USE MESSANGER OR WHATSAPP. I CAN'T EVEN TALK TO MY FRIENDS

I don't know why google even made this poorly designed malware! BLOCKING SMS IS JUST BULLSHIT, IT SHOULD BE ONE OF MY RIGHTS.

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO WHILE MY PHONE IS LOCKED IS CALL. CAN'T EVEN USE THE CAMERA, OR CHECK MY NOTIFICATIONS. AND MUST OF THE TIME WHEN IM ON CALL, IT'S REALLY BUGGY.

ALSO I SWEAR THIS APP DRAINS MY BATTERRY WITH ALL THE CONSTANT LOCATION TRACKING AND ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT IT DOES

I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MULTIPLE ACOUNTS FOR SOME REASON. FUCK YOU GOOGLE FOR THAT

HANG EVERYONE IN CHARGE OF THIS APP

So, does anyone know if channels are deleted permanently forever when someone gets supervision or is it only freezed till they are old enough? I‘m so anxieal about this because I have Family link for over a year now. I reaally need some hope or a clear answer. I know this isn’t a support forum but I’ve tried everything

Does every family get the same 6 digit code every hour or half hour or what it is, or is it different. Like if someone made a family link family with a Google account no one uses and just sends out the code to whomever wants it to watch youtube at 3am or change the controls on their phone, i hope for safety that it's different, but the endless changes would be quite nice tho.

Does the access code similar to every android device? If one of you guy some how get the code, comment it and see if anyone else also have it.

Hello, I recently purchased two Lenovo idea pads for my two 8 year olds, trying to move away from Amazon kindles.

I'm trying my to set up kids space in as close to an identical way as possible to start off with. Both tabs are set up with an adult profile as the main profile, the minor's user profile that has GKS.

Problem: One GKS profile is able to block apps within the KS app with a long press. The other one (on the other tablet) can not.

I have combed through the settings for hours in Family Link, and the Lenovo tablet settings and can not find the setting that is different.

What am I missing? It doesn't really matter to me if they can block them or not, just that the settings are the same.

TIA!

my phone is a moto e20, android 11, please help meeeeeeeeeee

Hello i have my chrome with family link ofc but google on my samsung internet/browser is not logged in, would i be able to make a new account through there? I am asking not because my restrictions are bad but because i cannot log into youtube because of it and i made a animated movie i desperately need to share with the world

Hello everyone, I'm a 15yrs and as every other fucking teen, i go around in my village, especially after dinner. My mother wants to install family link to have my geo location all the time... How can I bypass it?

(Summary): How do I install an app from galaxy store without my parents being notified?

So I want to install goodlock since I want to customize my phone a bit. I thought it would be fine since its made by samsung themselves and all of the low reviews are about specific plugins.

I went to talk to my parents and they got MAD, like passionate shouting mad like I had just taken drugs or something. They said, "Your phone is not a toy for you to experiment with. It is meant purely for communication and not for your entertainment." Well something like that since I cant remember word for word.

Their reason is that people have broken their phones customising, though I'm pretty sure that's physically impossible with goodlock.

Last time I installed something from galaxy store (it was an app manager or installer thing) my parents got a notification and I barely managed to pass it off as something my phone needed during update, since it was still brand new and setting up and downloading updates.

Please, I get good marks. I've done research and I've asked nicely and they haven't even properly listened to me. I do not hate them or think they are entirely wrong but I feel this is unfair.

I’ve been on punishment since January. Yeah; January. My Xbox was taken awsy, my phone, my tablet, I legit only have my TV, I’m typing this quickly on my mother’s second phone since she never looks here anyway. she claims I’m no longer on punishment but thats just not true, I’m bored. I’m tired, and I want to talk to my online friend again. All I do all day is draw, watch TV, eat, do chores. That’s it. i have headaches 24/7. I desperately want to play path of titans again and see the new updates, I want to play rdr2 again, god I wanna be free again. ATP I wanna move out. I’m so mentally drained of the same pattern, obviously I won’t say any of this to her face because I’ll get backhanded but god damn. I know i sound like such a child complaining about games but I’ve been doing the same thing for 6 months straight. I’ve missed so many updates just because she claims she doesn’t trust me, yeah; I don’t trust you either. I won’t be going into what I did, but it wasn’t enough to get me punished for 6 months. Im sorry for the rant, I’m just so tired, not to mention my rabbit died 3 months ago, so now I’m depressed, tired, and bored. What the hell do I do? Advice very much needed.

I don't care if it would notify them. As long as I won't need their help. In the about supervision section it says that I might need their help. Ideally if I could do this without the 24hrs

1- My account is 18+

2- Android 13- 1.0 family link

3- I don't have access to dev options

4- I do have secure folder

It just says this app is currently not available for kids. What the holy fu?!?! What can I do? It's for my e-scooter, I don't want to get f.ed by police.

Its gonna be long but: So it's summer vacations and all yk, but my social assistant who works in CPS had installed FL for a year now without my consent and uses the "Wéll see later" card, I only have 2 hours everyday and 3 on weekends, turns off at 9pm and turns on at 7am sharp, it’s so fucking annoying 🫩🙏 and I can’t find any bypass methods since they all need a computer (which also has FL time limit for me) or somethings to do in settings that are too hard to understand. Please help cuz this shit is killing me slowly asf, I envy my friends who doesn’t worry about how much longer before their phone is just useless for the next 22/21 hours of the day. I can only go on Yandex by using the assistent menu, but it’s useless because I can’t watch tiktok and snapchat, it have been like 2 weeks since I'm on school vacations, but ofc "It's to make me go out" but it’s literraly 40 degres°C out there and the worst thing is that I DO go out from 6pm till midnight, like?? And when I asked her to remove it along with my mom asking as well, that f***ing idiot said "I'll see that next week" but she didn’t do nun. Also not talking about how Fl thinks I'm a goddamn 5 year old while I'm over 13 meaning I can’t do shit on ma phone without that a**hole saying "You need a parent" 😭. Ok bye sorry for writing too much and complaining like a brat🥹

EDIT: I got like 2 more hours, do I have now 4 hours of screen time but she insisted to not remove it at all.

I'd go for eternity if I got to tell ALL the story.

So it stopping me entering the website. Google website. All of them. LIKE WHY DUDE, JUST WHY???

Also, this shit pointless, WHY REMOVING YOUTUBE COMENTS??? ALSO I CANT COMMENTS

I CANT have a second google account. I play this one game and I kinda messed it up. The only way to fix it is a new account, that's not possible.

Also, shorts limit. Dude fuck you, only 2 hour. I fine with it if I CAN GO OUTSIDE. I am asian and my parents have a small restaurant. I also work there. There are no days off. Even on Sunday. Soo I need to be there so I can't go out

I liked pokemon fan games. Then they decided to STOP ME ENTERING ANY WEBSITE. After begging for long. I got access to some pokemon website like Eevee expo and pokemon harbor... I didn't get permission for MediaFire.. tbh I don't even know if allowing MediaFire do anything, I DOUBTING THAT IT EVEN LET ME DOWNLOAD ANYTHING IN GOOGLE
