Parental control for teen
Once my teen turns 13 can she switch off family sharing by herself? If so, how can I switch off her phone when she is not cooperating? Will I need to set up screen time on her phone?

Hi vivog,
Regarding features for a child's Apple ID and device, you can use Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time. This will allow you to block or limit specific apps and features on your child's device. Check out the steps below found in the article here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
"Set Content & Privacy Restrictions
- Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
- Tap Continue, then choose "This is My [Device]" or "This is My Child's [Device]."
- If you're the parent or guardian of your device and want to prevent another family member from changing your settings, tap Use Screen Time Passcode to create a passcode, then re-enter the passcode to confirm. In iOS 13.4 and later, after you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
- If you're setting up Screen Time on your child's device, follow the prompts until you get to Parent Passcode and enter a passcode. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. In iOS 13.4 and later, after you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
3.Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy."
While age restrictions vary by region, with Family Sharing "The family organizer can remove anyone age 13 or older* from the family group." You can view these details and more here: Leave Family Sharing
Best.
