Samsung account child

[Lemonrainbow]

I have an 11 your old with a Samsung phone. I can't set up a Samsung account for them. Are there any alternatives?

Hi @Lemonrainbow ,

we do have a Samsung Kids Mode to protect your child from accessing potentially harmful content by setting up a PIN to prevent your child from exiting Kids Mode.

A parental control feature allows you to both set limits to your child’s usage and customize the content you make available. Find all about this HERE.

This doesn’t address the question. This is about how to set up a device that is assigned to the kid. Not to allow kids to use your device.

Same here. I don't understand is my child can use Galaxy Store or not. Also will be ask Galaxy Store permission before install new app using Family Link or via Samsung account...

Same problem here. I can't set him up a Samsung account without lying about his age. So i logged into mine. Now he has all my contacts on his phone, including work ones! And he changed my husbands name to Daddy on his phone and its changed it on mine too! SO annoying! Surely there's a way around this or do I have to lie about my childs age?! But surely, once he's an adult, this is going to cause problems?!

We did the same BUT made his own account with age year born 2003. Now I have NO control. 

What kind of a ***** show is Samsung running. When I did a Nokia for my other kid, we set up a kids account controlled by Family link. 

I hate Samsung. Stupid stupid

To clarify the situation, the terms and conditions for creating a Samsung account state that you must be at least 13 years old. This is also true of creating a Google account. For further information, please refer to the link below.

@Christable: You can set up a Family Link account on our devices by heading to Settings > Digital Wellbeing and parental controls > Parental controls.

Then why cant i add his phone to my family link? As i did the others, Its driving me nuts, also its unsafe

I'm also having the same problem also Kids mode is not safe for kids to uses at all.

My autistic child has somehow worked out some apps can be useds to undo/get out of the kids mode and get's into my phone all the time He also he keeps calling the cops while in kids mode as the have a button for it ... Is there a way to remove the emergency call button from the kids mode?

Cos the cops are mad at me about the fact my child keeps calling them and he dose not understand to not to push the emergency call button that's built into the kids mode as he has ASD.

So what Samsung account do we use to set up our kids tablets/phones. We don't want them to have access to our things, equally they are not yet old enough for their own Samsung account.
