Google’s Family Link is a free parental control app. It allows you to set digital boundaries for your children, regardless of their age, from your own device. This helps guide their online activities as they learn, play, and explore. For children under 13 (or the legal age of consent in your country), Family Link also enables you to create a Google Account for your child. This account is similar to an adult account and provides access to most Google services, while still allowing parental oversight.
With Family Link parental controls, you can :
Guide them to good content
- Monitor App Usage : Not all screen time is equal. Get insights into your child’s Android device habits with detailed activity reports. These show how much time they spend on various apps, available in daily, weekly, or monthly formats.
- App Management : Receive notifications to approve or deny app downloads from the Google Play Store. You can also control in-app purchases and hide specific apps on your child’s device, all from your own device remotely.
- Educational App Suggestions : Choosing appropriate apps for your child can be challenging. Family Link offers teacher-recommended apps for Android, which you can easily add to your child’s device, fostering their curiosity and learning.

Keep an eye on screen time
- Screen Time Limits : You decide how much screen time is appropriate for your child. Family Link allows you to set daily time limits and a bedtime for their supervised devices, helping them achieve a healthy balance.
- Remote Device Locking : When it’s time for other activities like outdoor play, family meals, or quality time together, you can remotely lock your child’s supervised device.
- Location Tracking : Family Link can help you locate your child when they’re out and about, as long as they have their Android device with them. This feature provides peace of mind when your child is away from home.
Important Information
Family Link’s tools vary depending on your child’s device. See a list of compatible devices at families.google.com/familylink/setup
