Google is taking the features from its Family Link app and adding them to settings function of Android Q.
to help parents manage their kids' phone use, and incorporate it into the settings function of Android Q, the next iteration of the operating system, Stephanie Cuthbertson, Google's senior director of Android, said Tuesday. Instead of having to download the app through the Google Play store, users will be able to go into their device's settings and set limits on their kids' phone activity or review apps they want to install.
"For 84% of us parents, technology use by our kids is a top concern," Cuthbertson said as she made the announcement at the company's annual I/O developer conference in Mountain View, California.Consumers could previously use the Family Link app on both Android phones and Apple iPhones to set limits for kids using Android devices.
But even as it's adding Family Link into Android, Google is adding some new features to it. Parents will be able to set time limits on their kids' use of specific apps, such as Snapchat or Instagram. And they'll be able to tap a button to grant their kids a few minutes of"bonus time," if they've reached their limits.
Both Google and Apple have been increasingly focusing on such well-being features in the wake of criticism from researchers and advocates, including former Google engineer
