I need some quick help.

Tomorrow is my son's Birthday. We bought him a Galaxy TAB A to replace his fire tablet.

Being that everything is connected to Google, I created him a google account. He's under 13 years old, so they feel that parents to not have a choice on whether a child should have youtube or not. Instead they force them to use youtube for kids which is incredibly limiting.

Whenever he goes to youtube.com, it directs him back to youtube kids. Google play store won't install youtube. Can't change his age in family link because it says it has to be under 13.

Try using an Invidious instance instead.

found the solution... Firefox. Family link can't manage that other than blocking the app. Not 100% what I wanted but it will for now

Youtube Vanced. Also skips Youtube ads and sponsor messages. :) However, it's not on the playstore. You have to get it from https://vancedapp.com/ And you need Vanced Manager first. You don't need to install Vanced Music, or any of the other recommended apps like Brave or Ad Guard.
