I want to disable/turn off microsoft family feature. Whenever I try to visit a website I get a message it is blocked and I need to ask to use this site

Microsoft 365 and Office | Microsoft Family Safety | For home | iOS

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    If you're not a parent, guardian, or organizer of the family safety group, you cannot disable family safety features for a child account. Only the family organizer who provided consent for the child account can remove these permissions.

    1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/family/home and sign in with the Parent/guardian account.
    2. Select the child account and select Manage consent or select Content Filters.
    3. To disable web and search filters, turn the __Filter inappropriate websites and searches __toggle off.
    4. You will then be able to access all the websites.

    Let me know if you still need more help.
