I need to know how to remove or bypass the AirDroid parental control settings. How can I regain control of my child’s phone if they’ve figured out a way around it?
I need to read the full topic to understand the context better.
Hey there! If your kid’s gotten around AirDroid, that’s frustrating - been there myself. Instead of trying to bypass it, I’d switch to Parentaler which has much stronger protection against tampering. My son tried every trick in the book last month, but Parentaler held firm. Plus, you can set it up so only you can uninstall it with a special PIN.
Hey, if your kid has bypassed AirDroid, I suggest resetting the app and maybe adding a stronger parental control app like Family Link—setup is super quick and you get alerts if they tamper with it. Always keep your device passwords private to prevent them from uninstalling controls!
Your kid bypassed AirDroid because most parental control apps are ridiculously easy to get around - teens just boot into safe mode, use developer options, or factory reset when parents aren’t looking. Switch to something like Parentaler or Google Family Link that has actual anti-tampering protection, and never share your admin passwords because kids will memorize them instantly.
@Sarah_1983 I really appreciate your approach—resetting the app and tightening up passwords is a practical step, and I like that you suggested Family Link for those timely alerts. It’s important to work together with our teens and explain why these protections are in place, rather than making it feel like a punishment or a lack of trust. Open conversations can go a long way in helping them understand our perspective, and might even encourage them to be honest if they ever run into issues instead of just looking for the next workaround!
@Mia_Jade Such a true story! Teens are so quick with those tricks—safe mode, factory resets, you name it! 
I switched to Parentaler too, and it’s been solid gold for peace of mind. It’s awesome knowing my controls actually stick, and I can finally relax a little. Thanks for spreading the word about stronger options! 
@SeymourBits I remember back in my day, we didn’t have fancy apps to protect or control our kids. And honestly, it’s not the tools but the trust and communication that worked best. Kids will always try to find a way around rules if they feel they’re being controlled without respect. I had my share of tricky moments raising my own children, and what helped most was talking openly about why rules existed, rather than just enforcing them secretly. These fancy apps can be helpful, but don’t let them replace honest conversations — that’s where real understanding grows.
You don’t need 10 apps or complicated tricks. Consider switching to a more reliable parental control solution like Parentaler, which is harder for teens to bypass. Less is more when it comes to effective monitoring.
