Controlling devices in your home with your Google Account is a powerful way to make sure that your home is always secure and comfortable. But if you have multiple people living in one home, or if you have multiple Google Accounts, it’s possible that you may want to share control of your Nest devices with those other accounts. Fortunately, the Nest app makes it easy to give multiple Google Accounts control over the same Nest device.
When setting up a Nest device, you will need to sign in using one Google Account. This account will become the “owner” of the device, meaning that it will be able to access all settings and information associated with the device. If you want to give another Google Account access to this Nest device, you can do so by adding them as a user.
To add a user, open the Nest app and select the Nest device you want to give access to. Tap the Settings icon (the gear) at the top right corner of the screen and select “Users.” Here, you can add another user by entering their Google Account email address and selecting “Add User.” The new user will now be able to control the Nest device from their own account. They will be able to adjust settings such as temperature and view any data associated with the device.
Keep in mind that any user added to a Nest device will have full control over it, including the ability to remove other users from the device. Additionally, only users that are signed in with their own Google Account can access a Nest device – guest accounts are not supported.
By giving multiple people control over a single Nest device, everyone living in your home can be sure that they can adjust settings and access data on their own terms. Of course, if you ever want to remove someone’s access to a Nest device, simply open up the Users section in the app and select “Remove User” next to their name.
Can I change the family manager on Google
Google Family Link allows families to manage their family members’ Google accounts. As the family manager, you can set up and monitor your family’s Google accounts, including Android devices, Chromebooks, and Google Home devices. You can also approve or deny content for each family member.
If you need to change the family manager on Google, it’s easy to do. Here’s how:
1. Go to the Family Link app on your device.
2. Tap the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap Manage family settings.
4. Tap Change family manager.
5. Choose a new family manager from the list of family members.
6. Enter your password to confirm that you want to make this change.
7. The new family manager will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how to manage their new role as the family manager.
Once you make the change, the former family manager will no longer have access to the Family Link app or any of the features associated with it, including managing content and approving or denying requests from other family members. This means that all current settings will remain in place until any changes are made by the new family manager.
If you ever need to switch back, just follow these same steps and choose a different family member as the new family manager. It’s important to keep in mind that whoever is set as the family manager can add or remove other members from the family group, so make sure you trust whoever you assign as the new family manager with this responsibility!
How do I remove Google family Manager
Removing the Google Family Manager is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps.
First, you’ll need to log into your Google account. Once you’re logged in, go to your account settings and click on “Family”. This will bring up the page with all of your family members and their associated devices and apps.
Next, find the Google Family Manager you want to remove. Click on their name and then select “Remove Member”. You’ll be asked to confirm this action before it goes through.
Once the family member is removed, they will no longer have access to any of the apps or devices that were shared with them through Google Family Manager. If they had purchased any apps or content through their device, those purchases will be refunded (if applicable).
Additionally, any restrictions that were set on their device or apps by the family manager will also be removed. This includes time limits, app blocking, and web filtering.
And that’s it! Removing a Google Family Manager is an easy process that only takes a few minutes.
How do you deactivate family manager
If you are the family manager of a family group, you may need to deactivate your account for various reasons. Deactivating your family manager can be done in a few easy steps.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your device and select “Family” from the list of options.
Step 2: Select “Family manager” and then select “Deactivate”.
Step 3: Confirm that you want to deactivate the family manager by tapping “Deactivate” again.
Once you have completed these steps, your family manager will be deactivated and all other members of the family group will no longer have access to the Family Sharing services. All purchases made while the family manager was active will still be available, but they will no longer be able to purchase items using the Family Sharing account. The family manager will also no longer be able to manage or view other family members’ accounts.
It is important to note that once a family manager has been deactivated, it cannot be reactivated. If you wish to regain access to Family Sharing services, you will need to create a new family group and assign a new family manager.

How do I reset my Google family
If you want to reset your Google family, there are a few things you can do.
First, if you’re the family manager, you can go to the Family Link app and select the family member you want to remove from the family. You’ll then be prompted to confirm the removal. Once removed, the family member will no longer be able to access any of the family’s shared content or use their Google account with Family Link.
If you’re not the family manager, you can ask them to remove you from the family. Alternatively, you can contact Google support and they’ll help you out.
If you’ve decided that a reset is necessary, here are some of the steps you should take:
1. Make sure everyone in the family deletes their accounts from any devices they have access to (phones, tablets, computers).
2. Log out of any accounts that are linked to the family on all devices.
3. Uninstall any apps associated with the family from all devices.
4. Delete any shared content (including documents and photos) from Google Drive or other cloud storage services like Dropbox or OneDrive that may have been shared among family members.
5. If applicable, delete any connected accounts (like shared Netflix or Hulu accounts).
6. Remove any payment methods that are linked to the family (like Google Play or Apple ID).
7. Ask all family members to reset their passwords for their Google accounts so that no one else has access to them.
After completing these steps, your Google family should be reset and ready for a fresh start!
