As a parent, you can use Family Link to do things like:
- Change some of your child's Google Account settings.
- Manage your child's apps on supervised devices: Decide which apps your child can download or purchase, block or allow apps, and change app permissions.
- Manage your child's screen time on supervised devices: Set a bedtime or daily screen limits, and see how much time your child spends on certain apps.
- Check your child's Android device location.
