Child profile has disappeared on Chromecast with Google TV

Do not tell me to add a child profile. That option has randomly disappeared. I have two other of these devices on which my child's account is still working. What have you done to break my chromecast?

Hello pauldsmyth,

 

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear about that. What type of Chromecast with Google TV device do you have, is it the 4K or HD? Please reboot your device and test. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset. Here's a guide: How to factory reset your Chromecast.

 

Best,

Jennifer

Hello pauldsmyth,

 

I understand that this can be frustrating, but resetting your device to default settings is the next best step. Give it a try!

 

I'll wait for your update.

 

Thanks,

I've been replying to this by email which has been bouncing. I will try resetting it tomorrow morning although this is ridiculous that I should have to do that rather than find out why it's happened

Factory reset resolved the issue. It's a real pain now having to set up all the apps again but at least my son can use his profile
