Changing the family manager on Google Family is not directly possible. The family manager role is assigned to the person who sets up the family group, and it cannot be transferred within the family settings. You may need to delete the current family group and create a new one with the desired family manager. This process involves re-inviting all family members, so consider the implications before proceeding.

FAQs & Answers

  2. What happens to family members if I create a new Google Family group? You will need to re-invite all family members to the new group since the original family group will be deleted.
