Help your family create healthy digital habits
Whether your children are younger or in their teens, the Family Link app lets you set digital ground rules to help guide them as they learn, play, and explore online.*
Guide them to good content
View their activity
Not all screen time is the same. Help your child make healthy decisions about what they do on their device, with activity reports showing how much time they’re spending on their favorite apps.†
Manage their apps
Handy notifications let you approve or block apps your child wants to download from the Google Play Store. You can also manage in-app purchases, and hide specific apps on their device.
Feed their curiosity
It can be hard to figure out what apps are right for your child, so Family Link shows you teacher-recommended apps that you can add directly to their device.‡
