YouTube’s strict on this now. Best fix is to make sure everyone on the plan has the exact same home address set in their Google Pay account.
If you actually live together, just log into YouTube on the owner's home Wi-Fi and it usually clears up. Otherwise, check the owner's email for a verification link if that fails, you might just have to switch to an individual plan unfortunately.
I have the owners YouTube login details…should I log in using my phone?
Ah got you mate! Logging into the owner's account on your phone won't help clear the check for your own account unfortunately, as Google verifies the location for each individual member in the family group.
Since it's set up via India iTunes, try connecting your phone to an Indian VPN and opening YouTube on your own account to see if it clears. If that fails, your best bet is switching your account to an Indian Individual Plan it's still super cheap with India iTunes credit and bypasses the household checks entirely!
Ah yeah, that's the standard 14-day warning email. Whatever you do, don't click 'contact us'if support reviews it manually, they'll immediately spot the UK/India mismatch and flag the account. Just try the Indian VPN method within those 14 days, or switch to an Indian individual plan before it pause
