Digital wellbeing was the initial step in Google’s strategy to curb online addiction, but it hasn’t reached a ton of users as it’s available only on Android 9 Pie. Well, Google is now bringing its time management tools to Chrome OS via the Family Link app to let guardians and parents customize usage time and app download rules.
Google had already given parents the ability to control the type of content their kids can consume while browsing. It is, however, now also handing down the charge of what apps and games kids can download from the Google Play Store. They can now ‘review and approve’ app requests, hide apps they don’t want kids to see, and manage your in-app purchase options.
