Question

Parent-child account

Hi, this thing is so so confusing and complicated. I created under the same email an account for me (I don’t want it linked to my Facebook or instagram account) and my kid. So when I buy apps it doesn’t show under his account, but there is no way for me to log into my account from the headset to access apps (at least I don’t know how). So I have to buy again from his profile—I have to gift and send to his account. What am I doing wrong? The process cannot be so stupid, I must be doing something wrong.

Also, absolutely annoying that when they ask to use an app it takes hours and hours for the approval request to arrive. Can’t this be fixed? 

Good idea and cool apps but you need lots of improvements here. Can somebody help me pls? Ans can somebody refund me for the apps I was forced to buy twice? Thanks

    How did you setup the headset? Are you the admin/device owner?

    Only the admin of the headset can share apps.

    If your child is the device owner, he can share apps from his account with another account on the headset, but it's not possible for you to share your games with him.

    So, if the Quest is setup this way, don't buy on your account, but just gift the game to your child. 

    For app refund look here:
