Sibling Tablet / Shared Family Device Hopping
Detection
Child switches to a sibling’s tablet or shared family device once their own daily quota expires.
Fix (technical)
Daily limits apply per device or per supervised account depending on OS. On Android, Family Link daily limits apply to each signed-in device individually7. Configure child user profiles on shared tablets with matching daily limits or profile locks14.
Fix (relational)
Encourage sibling cooperation and fair device sharing habits rather than competitive usage.
Residual risk
Unmanaged shared profiles or guest accounts allow unrestricted access.
