Family Link app has been graced with a very useful upgrade
Google has introduced new features to Chromebooks to allow parents to be able to limit the time their kids are spending using the devices.
Google’s parental control app, Family Link – originally crafted for Android devices – was introduced to Chromebooks a few months back, and now has added functionality in the ability to set screen time limits for kids, dictating how long the laptop can be used.
During these off-times, when they try to sign in, kids will be reminded to ‘take a break’, and will be informed of the time at which their Chromebook will be usable again.
All of which should help parents manage their offspring’s Chromebook usage to a greater degree, and ensure an unhealthy amount of time isn’t being spent staring at notebook screens.
App activities
Further benefits include the ability to manage which Android apps are available to download from Google’s Play store (on supported Chromebooks), and activity reports that show parents which apps their children are using the most (and exactly how much time is spent on each).
Note that Family Link already had the ability to block certain websites and police the web surfing of youngsters.
