Giant Tech company Google has announced new updates to Family Link, offering a range of options aiming at security of the family members digitally.

According to sources, the new features, have already been completed and are likely to be rolled out in the next few weeks. The new features of Google would be available in the “Location tab” feature.  It would allow parents to see all of their children on the same map with their device location on. 

In addition, parents can turn on notifications to be alerted when their child arrives at or leaves a specific destination like school or soccer practice, said the company.

Moreover, the “Highlights tab” would also allow the parents to track the usage of their child’s device by showing a snapshot of their child’s app usage, screen time and recently installed apps.

Google in a media interview said,  “We’re also adding resources from trusted partners like Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely and the Family Online Safety Institute to help parents navigate conversations around online safety at home.”

For parents and children, Family Link will also be available on the web. 

With this new feature, parents would be able to access online features even when they are away from their phones or don’t have the app. 

For children, the Family Link web experience would help them better understand their parental control settings. 

Additionally, the “Controls tab” enables parents to monitor children with the ability to set screen time limits for individual devices or specific apps, as well as set content restrictions.
