How do I change my privacy setting in Microsoft

Saddamhussien123 · Jan 16, 2022

I have been trying to change my privacy settings for the past 2 weeks. The account I am using is my personal account which is not apart of a family group. Yet whenever I try to change the privacy settings it redirects me to the page which tells me I have a child account.

You can adjust the privacy settings for your Microsoft account on https://account.microsoft.com/privacy. If you want to change the settings for a service such as Xbox Live there will be a link to it on the same site when you scroll down for a bit.

If you have a child account you might need an adult to add you to a family group and ask them to change your privacy settings.

You can also try to correct your info on https://account.microsoft.com/profile when you are not a child and you set a wrong birth date when you created your Microsoft account.

Good luck!

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Firstly, are you on a child account? (Microsoft automatically assign any account with the age set to below 21 years as a child account). If you're on a child account, you'll need a parent (adult) account in order to change your privacy settings.

The parent account will need to create a family group and add you as a "Member" while they are the "Organiser" in order to change your settings. Here's a detailed explanation of how to do that https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....

If you're not on a child account or to know how to change the settings from an adult account please see here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

Refer to the "Manage settings on Xbox.com" tab, underneath it you'll find how to manage your privacy settings on an Adult or Child account.

Hope this helps.

Jesse.

How do i find out if its a child account and which adult account it is?

If your MS account is a child account, the connected adult account will need to provide the appropriate permissions.
