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.

Que mala

Está aplicación sinceramente es horrible,no puedo creer que los padres no confíen en sus hijos o no les den un poco de privacidad,eso conlleva a que ellos tampoco les tengan confianza y no le acuesten nada.literalmente están controlando sus vidas como si fueran un robot.como se sentirán sus hijos al saber que serán controlados por mucho tiempo? Saben la impotencia que genera esto? Esta app NO debería de existir.

Encouragement

Très bon application vraiment bravo

How to used

How do I use this app if my child has iPhone. Uggh it drive me crazy I can’t figure it out. Anyone help !!!

Horrible experience

I can’t add a child through the app. App is telling me to use my child’s device to do it and that doesn’t work nor makes sense. They must already be added anyway because it doesn’t allow YouTube on my child’s device. I only needed this to block sites that a 10 year old shouldn’t browse and apps that I pick and this thing has become an evil dictator that can’t be overthrown

Great family app

This app makes it super simple to manage my child’s phone from anywhere. Whether I’m with him or even if he’s in another location.

what’s the point?

i can’t even access my child’s tablet because it’s locked and parent access code won’t work unless the time and date is correct on my child’s tablet. that’s what i’m trying to fix, so how can i fix it if i have to wait until night while im supposed to be in bed to go on and change the setting. absolute garbage app. i deleted my child’s downtime settings and even her entire account and it still requires a parent access code?! this is suppose to make things easier not exponentially more complicated.

Pretty good until they get tech savvy

I’ve been using family link for some years now. When the kid was younger, it was great and near exactly what I needed. Now that the kid is older and super tech savvy, the kid found some loopholes regarding time limits and approvals. What is a small disadvantage is that the time limits set apply equally to all devices. A good point of improvement would be to allow some customization based on device so that a phone could have more or less than another separate device.

Was a great app

Now I have to pay premium plus to block TikTok and Facebook?!? Isn’t that what I paid you for in the first place! There should also be a notification when this happens so the child doesn’t automatically have access like my kids did. Gee thanks.

Might be okay if…

How hard would it be to have the parent controlled option to delete devices from a kid’s supervised account? Or to remove someone from the account completely?

Easy to use

This app is easy to set up and use. I wish it had some more features, like if you wanted an app to be able to be accessed at all times and not count toward the day’s screen limit time. But overall it’s good.
