Family Link from Google - Family Safety & Parental Control Tools (2025)

Establish digital ground rules

Set screen time limits

Find the screen time that works best for your child. Family Link lets you set daily time limits, with School Time and Downtime schedules for their devices, so you can help your child find a healthy balance.

Manage your child’s apps

Give your child the flexibility they need when it comes to app usage. Set individual app time limits, and unlimited time for educational or regularly used apps. You can block apps, too.

Manage content filters, security and privacy

Manage what they see online

Set up parental controls on Google services like Chrome, Play, YouTube, and Search. Family Link allows you to block inappropriate sites, require approval for new apps, and manage permissions.

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.
