Samsung Account for a child

[PolarXplorer]

Hi People,

We just got a Galaxy A14 for our child. For the Find My Phone function to work and for the Galaxy Store updates to work it wants to login into a Samsung Account. When trying to register him for one, he is declared too young (and no other helping hints).

I don't want to enter my details, because I think that might create sync issues.

On a (US) Samsung help page there are steps described how to set up a child account, bur those steps don't match any menu I have seen.

I think these are two key functions of a modern device that should work (locate device/child and keep things up to date)

Have you guys have suggestions or solutions?

Hi @PolarXplorer 

Have a look at this thread and the Moderators response about the minimum age being 13 years but if under 18 needs parental permission.

Hi BandOfBrothers, thanks for the response, but the link is broken.

Hi, I have the same issue, I wondered if you had found a way to do this yet please?

Hi, No, unfortunately I didn't. I chatted to an advisor, who clearly did a Google search and pointed me to a Samsung USA article on this topic. I had seen that before, but the actions/options described there don't work with my version of Android / Galaxy. It was a dead end ☹️
