Establish digital ground rules

Set screen time limits

Find the screen time that works best for your child. Family Link lets you set downtime for their device and time limits for apps, so you can help your child find a healthy balance.

Guide them to age-appropriate content

Approve or block apps your child wants to download. Family Link also allows you to choose the right YouTube experience for your child: a supervised experience on YouTube, or YouTube Kids.

Manage and secure your child’s account

Protect their privacy

Permissions management in Family Link allow you to make meaningful choices about your child’s data. You can view and manage permissions for websites and extensions accessed through Chrome as well as apps downloaded on your child’s device.

Secure their account

Family Link gives you access to manage your child's account and data settings. As a parent, you can help change or reset your child’s password if they forget it, edit their personal information or even delete their account if you feel necessary.

Stay connected on the go

See where they are

It’s helpful to be able to find your family when they’re on the go. With Family Link, you can locate your children on one map, as long as they’re carrying their device.**

Get notifications and alerts

Family Link delivers critical notifications including when your child arrives or leaves a certain location. You can also ring devices and view the device’s remaining battery life.
