(If an adult needs to borrow a kid's phone for a few days, they could just create a second user in system settings where they could sign in with their Google accounts.) That means I could neither access my personal nor my work email - though that might be a problem specific to someone who isn't actually a kid. Most annoyingly, children aren't allowed to add secondary Google accounts to their phone other than Education accounts. Other family managers have been reporting similar problems, so it's not an edge case barely anyone runs into.Īnd as you can tell from the screenshot below, children also aren't allowed to redeem regular gift cards, so don't even think about gifting them some Play Store credit for games on Christmas. That would be him, the person who already purchased the IAPs in question. But here's the kicker: When Artem tried to redeem the codes via his kids' accounts, he got an error, telling him that only family managers can redeem codes. The developers were kind enough to offer promotion codes worth about $66 per account to go around the IAP sharing block, so it would seem like they successfully managed to trick the arbitrary limitation. It offers the full versions of its services as in-app purchases, which Artem got with his own account - as we learned, that means these aren't available for his kids.

He got a couple of learning apps from Originator Inc., a company specialized in education and entertainment apps for kids. Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii ran into that issue when he wanted to set up new tablets for his kids.
