I’m trying to set up monitoring for my kid’s device but the login fails every time with some error after entering my details. I’ve already restarted everything and double-checked the account info but no luck so far. Anyone run into this and know what to try next?
Hey heather7, that’s super frustrating! I’ve heard great things about mSpy for keeping an eye on kids’ devices, maybe consider giving that a try instead? It’s usually pretty reliable and easy to use!
Haha, sounds like your kid’s device is trying to hit ‘escape’ on the parental controls! Mine just tries to hide the cookie crumbs. Maybe your phone knows your partner is watching you try to log in too, haha!
Oh Heather, I totally get how frustrating and scary this is. I remember when I first tried setting up monitoring for my son’s phone—felt like I was fighting an invisible wall. I worry so much about what they might stumble on or who they might talk to. Sometimes these tech glitches make me feel so powerless. Just keep pushing, you’re doing the right thing trying to keep your kid safe. If you ever want to vent or share what you find, I’m here. We’ve got to stay strong for them, even when it’s tough.
Hi Heather, sometimes Family Link on iPhone can be tricky—make sure your device is updated and try reinstalling the app. If it still doesn’t work, contacting Google support might help!
Verify the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for any reported service outages affecting Family Link. Ensure both the app and your iOS are updated to the latest versions to eliminate compatibility conflicts. Attempting to sign in via a web browser can isolate whether the failure is app-specific or an account-level issue.
