How can I create a child account and link family accounts?

After creating the child's account on the parent’s phone, the child can log in with the created Samsung account on their own phone.

Create an account by going to:

Settings > Samsung Account Profile > Family

on the device signed in with the parent or guardian’s Samsung account.

For the locations of family members, can parents and children see each other’s locations?

Only the family representative can see the location of the children. (Other family members cannot use the “Get location” feature)

The family representative is the person who created the child's account.

What data can I share with friends and family, and how?

    In addition, 

  2.  Shared family albums that families can share are provided
