It's a lot more convoluted than it has been in the past though so bear with me.

I can't find any such option to unlock the google play app. I would very much like to use an "Android restricted account" rather than this crippled version supplied by Lenovo/Kidoz.

But it won't let me access it from the Google account that the apps were originally purchased from. My only option is to repurchase the apps on other account. Don't like the way the users system is set up at all.

With both a kids user and family link, search results and images still show up even though there isn't a browser available to open them with. I want to block chrome, Google search, and the play store.
