Description

Google Family Link is a parental controls app that helps you keep your family safer online. We know that every family’s relationship with technology is unique, so we designed tools like Family Link that give you the flexibility to choose the right balance for your family, and help them create healthy digital habits. Family Link’s easy to use tools allow you to understand how your child is spending time on their device, see their device location, manage privacy settings, and more.

With Family Link, you can:

Establish Digital Ground Rules
• Set screen time limits — Family Link lets you set downtime for your child’s device and time limits for apps, so you can help them find a healthy balance.
• Guide them to age-appropriate content — Approve or block apps your child wants to download. Family Link also allows you to choose the right YouTube experience for your child: a supervised experience on YouTube, or YouTube Kids.

Manage and secure your child’s account
• Protect their privacy — Permissions management in Family Link allow you to make meaningful choices about your child’s data. View and manage permissions for websites and extensions accessed through Chrome as well as apps downloaded on your child’s device.
• Secure their account — Family Link gives you access to manage your child's account and data settings. As a parent, you can help change or reset your child’s password if they forget it, edit their personal information or even delete their account if you feel necessary.

Stay connected on the go
• See where they are — It’s helpful to be able to find your family when they’re on the go. With Family Link, you can locate your children on one map, as long as they’re carrying their device.
• Get notifications and alerts — Family Link delivers critical notifications including when your child arrives or leaves a certain location. You can also ring devices and view the device’s remaining battery life.

Important Information

• Family Link’s tools vary depending on your child’s device. See a list of compatible devices at https://families.google/familylink/device-compatibility/
• While Family Link helps you manage your child's purchases and downloads from Google Play, they will not need approval to install app updates (including updates that expand permissions), apps you have previously approved, or apps that have been shared in Family Library. In addition, purchase approvals will apply only when your child makes a purchase through Google Play’s billing system and will not apply to purchases made through alternate billing systems. Parents should regularly review their child’s installed apps and app permissions in Family Link.
• You should carefully review the apps on your child’s supervised device and disable those you don’t want them to use. Note that you may not be able to disable some pre-installed apps such as Play, Google, etc.
• To see the location of your child or teen’s device, the device must be powered on, recently active, and connected to the internet through data or wifi.
• Family Link parental controls are only available for supervised Google accounts. With supervised Google Accounts, children get access to Google products like Search, Chrome, and Gmail, and parents can set up basic digital ground rules to supervise them.
• While Family Link provides tools to manage your child’s online experience and keep them safer online, it does not make the internet safe. Family Link can not determine the content on the internet, but it can give parents the opportunity to make decisions about how their child spends time on their device, and determine what path to online safety looks best for your family.

Dear parents

This app is seamless. It has no issues, can concur as a child myself. If the app is “acting up” or not working on your child’s device, it’s your child, they’re messing with it, not the app. I know, I do it myself all the time. Sorry other kids, but you’ll thank me when you become a functioning member of society.

Real confusing

Hard to find information on how to set limits and add apps etc.

Dear parents

I know you want to restrict what you’re children are looking at and the amount of time they spend on their screens but I would just like you consider the affect on your children for a obvious start if you restrict there screen time they will become sneaky and find ways around it and they become very disconnected from you because they’re always sneaking around screen time rules second limiting their screen time can actually make them more addicted because they will savour every single second of screen time they can get and finally it is really bad for their mental health okay I know this one is controversial but I know a lot of people myself included that can only reach out for help over text and restricting essentially their help line you increase the chances of bad things happening when they have to suffer in silence please reconsider before putting this on your children’s devices

Why device is gone

Can override controls

Just found out my son has learnt to override controls and got into his phone. Why is this even an option ???? Was going well until this.

Super Helpful!

I have only recently downloaded this, but so far it ticks all my boxes and more. My three young kids were waking up super early to watch their tablets. Now when their sleep clock is blue before 6am, their tablets are locked. Very easy way to train little kids who can’t get tell the time. I also love that I can see their batteries, locations and daily/weekly screen time. It was super easy to block unnecessary apps. I also love the “ring” feature which is very useful when a tablet makes its way between couch cushions 😂 I use an iPhone and the tablets are Samsung and Lenovo and it all works seamlessly. I am super impressed and loving it!

Sooo good

Stinky poo poo
