Though technology has simplified the life of the new age mothers in many ways, they are still terrified of technology when it comes to their kids.

The rampant stories of kids being bullied, exploited or abused because of the unguided use of technology have made parents to reconsider their views about technology.

Technology giant Google recently understood the fear among parents related to technology and designed the solution that every parent needs to use.

Google Family Link App launched in India is meant to help parents remotely control and track their kids’ smartphones (mainly Android) activities.

This easy to use app would help parents set and implement digital ground rules for their kids. The app would allow the parents to manage what their kids are watching and what Google Accounts, devices and apps being used.

The app was made public for the first time in the United States in 2017. This app tries to strengthen the trust among parents and kids when it comes to online activities of kids. The app allows parents to limit the usage by configuring a maximum number of hours that their kids are allowed to spend on the internet.

If you are still not amazed by the app, there is one more feature that every parent is loving. Parents can set the devices to be automatically be locked out as per the set child’s bedtime.

As of 2017, the app can control smartphones running on Android Nougat 7.o and higher. It also works for selected smartphones running on Marshmallow devices.

Here are some features of this app that can be helpful for parents:

1. Guide your kid to good content: Now with the help of this app, parents can help their kids make healthy decisions online. Also, parents can guide kids to manage the usage of various apps – gaming or dating or adult content apps.

2. Track your kid’s whereabouts: This makes easier for parents to find where their child is going as they are carrying their Android devices with them.

3. Track screentime: Most importantly, parents can decide and control the right amount of screen time for their kids and set a time limit. And, it has a master feature to lock kid’s devices when its time to spend some offline time with the family or its time to spend outside in open.

For more information, parents can visit the Google App store to know more and download the app. It is available on the Android store with the name ‘Google Family Link for parents’ and ‘Google Family Link for children & teens’.

Technology is not going away or becoming less popular. We should let our kids be more responsible about how to use it.

Expecting kids to have no exposure to the internet or smartphones is a thing of the past. And, if we want kids to grow into technically savvy individuals, then apps like ‘Google Family Link’ become a must. 

Share with other mothers any app that helps you in maintaining kids’ safety!
