TL;DRA reported Google Family Link bug is blocking outgoing calls on supervised devices, while incoming calls and messages still work normally.Some users have found temporary workarounds, such as toggling supervision on and off, but these fixes are inconsistent and not available for accounts under 13.The issue has raised safety concerns because it may prevent emergency calls, and Google is reportedly aware of the problem and working on a fix.Google’s Family Link is supposed to give parents a sense of control and, more importantly, peace of mind over how their kids use smartphones. But right now, it’s doing the exact opposite for some users.A growing number of parents are reporting a bug that prevents children from making outgoing calls on supervised devices. The issue first surfaced in a Reddit post by user Ednolbbmud, who shared a screenshot of an error message that reads: “Calls can’t be placed by System Parental controls. Try using a different call redirecting app or contacting the developer for help.” According to the post, both of their children are affected. While their phones, in this case a Samsung Galaxy A16, can still receive calls and messages just fine, outgoing calls are completely blocked.
