Google Family Link is a parental controls app that assists in creating a safer online environment for your family. Its purpose is to provide tools that enable you to establish a suitable balance for your family's relationship with technology and promote healthy digital habits. The user-friendly features of Family Link allow you to monitor your child's device usage, track their device location, manage privacy settings, and more.

With Family Link, you can:

  • Establish Digital Ground Rules
    • Set screen time limits: Family Link offers the ability to set downtime on your child's device and time limits for specific apps, aiding you in guiding them towards a healthy balance.
    • Guide them to age-appropriate content: You have the power to approve or block app downloads and choose from a supervised experience on YouTube or YouTube Kids to ensure your child is accessing suitable content.
  • Manage and Secure Your Child’s Account
    • Protect their privacy: Family Link grants you control over your child's data permissions, allowing you to make informed decisions. You can regulate permissions for websites, extensions accessed through Chrome, and apps downloaded on their device.
    • Secure their account: As a parent, you have access to manage your child's account and data settings. You can change or reset their password, modify personal information, or delete the account if required.
  • Stay Connected on the Go
    • See where they are: With Family Link, you can conveniently locate your children on one map as long as they have their device with them.
    • Get notifications and alerts: Critical notifications such as arrivals or departures from specific locations are delivered via Family Link. You can also ring devices and check their remaining battery life.

Important Information:

  • The availability of Family Link's tools may vary depending on your child's device. Refer to the list of compatible devices at https://families.google/familylink/device-compatibility/.
  • While Family Link helps manage your child's purchases and downloads from Google Play, they will not require approval for app updates (including updates that expand permissions), previously approved apps, or apps shared in the Family Library. Purchase approvals only apply when your child uses Google Play's billing system and do not extend to alternate billing systems. It is recommended that parents regularly review their child's installed apps and app permissions in Family Link.
  • It is important to carefully review the apps on your child's supervised device and disable any that you don't want them to use. Note that certain pre-installed apps, such as Play and Google, may not be disabled.
  • To view the location of your child's device, it must be powered on, recently active, and connected to the internet via data or Wi-Fi.
  • Family Link parental controls are exclusively available for supervised Google accounts. Supervised Google Accounts provide children with access to Google products like Search, Chrome, and Gmail, while parents can establish basic digital ground rules for supervision.
  • While Family Link offers tools to manage your child's online experience and enhance their safety, it does not guarantee internet safety. Family Link cannot control internet content but provides parents with the opportunity to make informed decisions about their child's device usage and determine the most suitable path to online safety for their family.
