The app, called Family Link, has proven to be a success in the US following its launch earlier this year, and Google today (8 November) announced that it has launched the app in Ireland. Deciding the right amount of screen time can depend on what apps a child is using the most, which can be monitored through the Family Link app. While the Family Link app itself doesn’t block all inappropriate content, Google Search and Chrome have extensive content filtering options. To use Google Family Link, the child will need a device that runs at least Android Nougat (7.0) or iOS 9. Parents can then download Family Link onto their own devices and create a Google account for their child using the app.
