Only owner can change Digital Wellbeing?

[Megglesz]

Hello

We have multiple devices on our home, and our child has just received a Nest Hub for his bedroom.

I want to set up the digital wellbeing settings, to restrict certain things, but only the "Owner" can access these settings - which is my husband.

Surely that's not true? Not even someone whose access is set to "Full Access" can change digital wellbeing settings???

Help please 🙂

Thanks

Hey Megglesz,

Thanks for reaching out. 

Downtime schedules can only be created or changed by the person who initially set up the device. You can use your account in setting up your child's Google Nest Hub so that you can control his/her device. You can check this guide for more information.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Alex

Thanks Alex

It did answer my question - I'm just stunned, to be honest.  How ridiculous that only 1 person can be set as the "owner" and have access to certain settings and features.

Google really should change that.
