How do I stop managing and remove a kid's device?

If you are trying to remove all of a kid's devices, consider removing the kid entirely, which removes all their devices individually and then also their profile. You can also temporarily pause Screenable on a device.

To remove a kid's device

This will remove the kid's device from your family account and stop screen time management on it.

1. In the Screenable app, go to the Home tab.
2. Tap the kid's name who currently has the device.
3. In that kid's settings, tap the device you want to remove, and select Remove Device.
4. On your kid's device, delete the Screenable app.

What happens when I remove a device?

Removing a device from the home will stop managing it, meaning parents will not be able to see or get notified about any of its screen time usage, and kids will no longer see screen time reminders, warnings, and blocks. (Note that it can take up to 5 minutes to take effect.)

This does not delete any usage data, as that is associated with the kid's profile. To delete that, either remove the kid or delete your account.

If you want to add the device back to the family account, you will need to go through the full device setup flow again. It will not recover any of its previous data, as that has been permanently deleted.
