supervised child (10-12) account able to install Teen apps
I have a Quest 3S with:
- My adult Meta account as the primary account.
- A child account (DOB 2015) created through Meta Family Center.
- App Sharing enabled.
The child account is correctly recognized as a child account. In Account Center it says that I manage the account until the child turns 13.
In Family Center:
- Apps are currently configured to Approve apps one by one (I also tested with Everyone / Everyone 10+ with the same results).
- Teen-rated apps are shown as App access: Not allowed.
- Mature (17+) apps are correctly blocked.
However, the Quest headset still allows the child account to install and launch Teen-rated apps.
For example, I tested with several free Teen-rated apps (including Last Bone, Starvault, and War of Wizards). All of them install successfully and can be launched from the child account without any parental approval.
Interestingly, Mature-rated apps appear are correctly blocked. For example, Battle Talent Demo (17+) is blocked with an age restriction message.
One odd thing I noticed is that, on the first attempt to install a Teen-rated app, the headset sometimes displays a message saying the child needs to invite a parent to supervise the account. If the child taps Cancel and immediately tries again, the app installs normally.
I've already verified that:
- the child's birth date is correct (2015);
- the child account shown on the headset is the same account shown in Family Center;
- supervision is active;
- Family Center correctly identifies these Teen apps as App access: Not allowed
Has anyone else with a supervised 10–12 child account been able to reproduce this behavior?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from parents who have a child account (not a supervised teen account). Can your child install and run free Teen-rated apps, or are they correctly blocked until you approve them?
