Google Family Link has officially been launched in South Africa. This Google app will allow parents set and enforce digital ground-rules for kids—- with this app, parents will be in full control of their children’s phones, it allows them to manage apps – approving or blocking apps they download, manage their screen time – tracking how much time they use on apps and even set daily limits for them or disable their device by locking it – remotely from their own phone.
How Does it Work?
The App can be downloaded on this Google Family Link for parents and the kids can download Google Family Link for children & teens – which is available for free on the Google Play store for and the iOS app store.
Both parties i.e. parents and child will be required to sign up with their Gmail accounts and they will have to agree the terms of supervision. By accepting these conditions, the parents will automatically become the administrators of the smartphone.
