Google Family Link

What is Google Family Link?

The Family Link app empowers parents to establish healthy digital habits for their children, whether they are young or in their teenage years. The app provides a suite of features to help guide kids as they learn, play, and explore online. For children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your country), Family Link allows you to create a Google Account for your child that resembles your own, granting access to most Google services
