Use Family Mode in 1:1 and group calls

Family Mode provides a better 1:1 calling experience when young children are participating. Family Mode hides in-call controls to prevent children from accidentally hanging up or muting the call. This feature isn't available in meetings.

To draw or apply effects with Family Mode, you need Android 6.0 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.
