Disabling Parental Controls in Google Play can also be done by tapping on the Parental Controls On slider again. This feature is very useful if a child uses the Android device. This way, you can be sure that nothing will be downloaded if it is not age-appropriate. However, please note that this tool does not work with the apps you previously had installed on your device but only new ones you install after.
