Family Link

With the Family Link app from Google, you can stay in the loop as your child explores on their Android* device. Family Link lets you create a Google Account for your child that’s like your account, while also helping you set certain digital ground rules that work for your family — like managing the apps your child can use, keeping an eye on screen time, and setting a bedtime on your child’s device.

  • Manage the apps your child can use

    Approve or block the apps your child wants to download from the Google Play Store.

  • Keep an eye on screen time

    See how much time your child spends on their favorite apps† with weekly or monthly activity reports, and set daily screen time limits for their device.

  • Set device bedtime

    Remotely lock your child’s device when it’s time to play, study, or sleep.
