  What about family members that don't require restrictions?

  Once you set restrictions on communication features, they will be in place for everyone that uses the same Nintendo Switch system. If some family members do not require parental controls, hit the orange button at the top of the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu screen and enter your PIN to temporarily disable them.

  

  

  The restrictions can be activated again by pressing the button that is in the “OFF” state.

  Once the Nintendo Switch system enters sleep mode, the restrictions will automatically be activated again.
