Child-friendly application to learn about smartphones
Google Family Link is an excellent method for parents to monitor the activities of their children while browsing the Internet. It is primarily intended to introduce young children to the world of the modern smartphone. Thus, this software bundle can be an effective way to avoid apps and other links which may not be appropriate for young ones. As it is also possible to create a Google account for the child in question, access to the majority of search engine features is not compromised.
Main Features and Uses
Parents are now able to set ‘ground rules’ for their children with the help of Google Family Link. Another interesting feature of this application is that important metrics such as browsing times and pages visited are displayed. This provides what can be termed a parental ‘firewall’. It is even possible to deactivate a phone after a specific period of time.
Other Options
Google Family Link enables parents to directly manage all applications from their phone, ideal when certain ones are not appropriate for the younger generation. Immediate access to the Google Play store is also possible. This software bundle is primarily intended to be used by parents who have children under the age of 13. It is compatible with most Android operating systems.
