What should you do to set up your adult account to manage your child’s device?

Every time Google updates the Family Link app, the procedure for setting up your account as an adult changes a bit. However, the only thing we can show you here is the way in which you can configure the data that your Google Family account will contain .

1. Enter the Family Link application
2. Look for an option called ‘Manage settings’
3. Then, go to the ‘Privacy Settings’ section
4. Then go to ‘Account details’
5. When you get there, you will have to follow each of the instructions given by the application to adjust your account details

That would already be the whole procedure to configure your account data . Now, if you want to enjoy all the new features of this great parental control application, you would have to go to the Play Store to update it .

What is the procedure to link your child’s account with your Google Family Link profile?

In the previous paragraph, the procedure to be used to configure your Google Family account and thus be able to manage your child’s mobile device was explained . Now, it is important that you know what the procedure is to link your adult account with your child’s Google Family Link profile.

How can you add a new school account with Google Family Link?

Whenever you want to add a new school account with Google Family Link to be aware of which applications your child can use, you will have to do the following:

1. Take your child’s mobile

3. Choose your son
4. Press the icon of the three lying stripes

It should be noted that apart from unblocking violent applications, it is very necessary that you learn to block pages with adult content within your child’s mobile . This is something that is always often overlooked by parents . Since you cannot block Google Chrome, because from there they perform searches for school assignments. With the browser you can access the adult pages and if you block them in advance you will not have complications.
