Trying to get family link set up on my childs phone, Samsung Galaxy S7. Downloaded the parental controls app to their phone, S7. Click app and it says "Can't open parental controls. Something went wrong. Try again later." Also, when I go to setting in phone, then Google, there is no option for Parental Controls.

Since we tried to remove family link (my child is 13), our phones no longer connect with each other. His phone still says that I am his family manager, however, we cannot get my phone to communicate with his. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this please? Thank you very much.

Hello, I have a problem that time limit I set for my childrens' phones often changes deliberately. I save it every time when changing it. Then also sometimes when I lock their phones they are unlocked after some time. Kids do not have access to my phone so they can't change settings themselves. All these geatures make me losing trust towards the app and are pretty nerve cracking. Therefore I'm asking you for help. Best regards!
