Empowering families with easier parental controls
Across our products, we’ve made it easy for families to choose and customise their experience through supervised accounts and parental controls. We created Family Link to help you set up a supervised account for your child, allowing you to approve what apps and games they can download on their device, keep an eye on screen time and help set digital ground rules for your family.
Now, Family Link’s design will allow parents to manage devices from a single page, plus view a device-specific usage summary, set time limits and more easily adjust controls from a consolidated screen-time management tab.
It also provides a way to manage the content your child can see, update or delete their account if needed, share location when they have their device with them, manage privacy settings and find the right balance for your family. Due to the Social Media Minimum Age Act, parents in Australia can no longer use supervision on YouTube for kids and teens under 16 – removing access to the suite of parental controls on YouTube developed in consultation with third party experts. YouTube Kids remains available for younger users and Australian teens over 16 can voluntarily choose to link accounts with their parents.
