Hey @slb1973, you can disable the Parental Control function, by following these steps: Settings > Digital Wellbeing and Parental Control > Parental Control > Unlock/disable Parental Control > Enter your 4 digit PIN code > OK.

Let me just say - this is an annoying feature for people who DON'T have children. The Ultra 23+ is MY phone, I am an adult, I don't need parental controls. The fact that I'm unable to disable this - despite not having parental controls turned off or non-existent on every one of my account - is frustrating.

This should be an OPTION, not a requirement. Newsflash - not every smartphone is owned by a child.

Uninstall parental control

Re: Re: turn off parental control

If it could be uninstalled, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? 🤔😂

The point is not having this as a requirement, but as an option; not everyone has children and not everyone spends near $2000 on a phone for non-existent children (and if you're spending $2k on a child, what the hell is wrong with you as a parent??)

Across the board, this should be an option - something that is easily disabled and uninstalled, not locked into place and taking up precious space on my phone.

It doesn't work.
There is no "Digital Wellbeing and Parental Control" option under Settings.

Same my time yesterday ran out at 5pm when it's supposed to be 7pm? My mum said it was probably by dad who put it on accident or my 3 year old brother but who?
