Google Family Link

Google Family Link is a parental controls app designed to help families create healthy digital habits and keep their children safer online.

Key features:

- Establishing Digital Ground Rules

Set screen time limits, manage downtime, guide children to age-appropriate content, and approve or block app downloads.

- Managing and Securing Child's Account

Protect children's privacy by managing permissions, securing their accounts, changing or resetting passwords, editing personal information, and deleting accounts if necessary.

- Staying Connected on the Go

Locate children on a map, receive notifications and alerts about their location, and check the device's battery life.

- Compatibility

Family Link's tools vary depending on the child's device. A list of compatible devices can be found on the Google Family Link website.

- Limitations

Family Link does not control app updates, alternate billing systems, or pre-installed apps. Parents should regularly review their child's installed apps and permissions.

- Supervised Google Accounts

Family Link parental controls are available only for supervised Google accounts, which provide children access to Google products under parental supervision.

- Online Safety

While Family Link provides tools to manage a child's online experience, it does not make the internet completely safe. Parents should determine the best path to online safety for their family.
