1. Add your child's Google Account to the device.
   Note: If you add supervision to your child's existing Google Account, you need to restart the device to finish adding supervision and regain access to some Google services.
2. Recommended: If you (the parent) are the owner device's owner account, disable guest mode and control who can sign in to your child's device. If guest mode and adding new users are allowed, your child can use the device without Family Link settings applying.

You can choose what apps your child can use on their device and what permissions your child provides to those apps.

1. Open the Family Link app
2. Select your child.
3. Tap Controls  Content restrictions  Google Chrome.
4. Choose the setting that's right for your family:
   • Allow all sites: Your child can visit all sites, except the ones you block.
   • Try to block mature sites: No filter is perfect, but this setting helps hide sexually explicit and violent sites.
   • Only allow certain sites: Your child can only be able to visit the sites you allow.
5. Under "Manage sites", tap Approved or Blocked to manually allow or block a site. When you manually allow or block a site, this setting automatically applies over the other Chrome browsing settings enabled for your child.

Note: You can also click your child's name at g.co/yourfamily to manage this setting.

If you block a certain site, your child can ask for parental permission to visit it. You should get a notification in the Family Link app where you can approve or deny their request.

• Websites: If you block or allow a specific website, like www.google.com, the permission won't apply to sites that begin or end differently, like www.google.co.uk or get.google.com/tips.
• Domains: If you block or allow an entire domain, like google, the permission applies to sites that begin or end differently too, like google.com, and images.google.fr.
