Asked By CuriousCat19 On

I'm 19 years old and want to explore online dating, but I'm still on my family's Apple ID account with my parents in control. They don't mind dating apps, but I know they'll make fun of me for it, and I want to avoid that awkward conversation. Is there a way to hide the apps I download from my parents? I know there's a way to hide apps from family members, but will that also work for the family administrator? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You know, at 19, you should be able to manage your own finances without needing your parents' thumbs up. Maybe consider asking them to switch you from a child account to an adult one, or just tell them you want to leave family sharing. If they don’t go for it, you could always start a fresh account and move on.

Honestly, you can't hide them completely. Have you checked what birthday date is set in your Apple ID? At 19, it's about time to have a real talk with your parents. You’re old enough to make your own choices, so why not communicate with them? It might go better than you think.

Why not just factory reset your phone? You can set up your own account without your parents involved. But keep in mind that this will erase everything linked to the current account.

You really can’t keep it hidden from them if they’re the admins. Maybe just have an honest chat with them about wanting your own privacy at this age.
