In today’s digital age, it’s not uncommon to see kids with a smartphone in their hands. Yes, it’s how you get your child to stay connected nowadays. However, you shouldn’t let the young ones have all the freedom with their mobile devices. It may lead to unintended consequences such as phone addiction as well as exposing them to inappropriate content from the Internet.
Therefore, it is always recommended that you know what your child is doing with their phone. Well, we know that it is nearly impossible to be beside your child all the time. That’s why you may need an app like Google Family Link as it can give you peace of mind. 🙂
This parental control app enables you to monitor your child’s mobile usage as well as to help you manage their Google account. There are a handful of things that you can do with this app. By setting a daily screen time limits, you decide the right amount of time your child can use their phone. You can set a bedtime too so that the phone doesn’t go to bed together with your child. In addition to that, you can remotely lock your child’s phone as well as tracking their location.
There are a number of settings you can manage on your child’s Google account. You can filter apps in the Google Play Store, restrict access to websites on Google Chrome and block explicit sites on Google Search with SafeSearch filters.
To supervise your child with Family Link, you need to install two separate apps on your device (Google Family Link for parents) as well as your child’s device (Google Family Link for children & teens). Note that Family Link allows you to add another parent (your spouse!) to help with the supervision. You can learn more about Family Link here.
