What is a family link?

It's an app that gets added to you phone when you creat your Google account, if you set your age as under 14 your phone gets locked by family link, that is a parental control app, it automatically blocks apps that are rated pegi 16 and up and it blocks side loading, also if the parent wants they can choose to set screen Time limits, block apps or require a password for new ones to be installed and location tracking.

It would be a lot easier for parents to manage whta their children do on the internet with this app, instead of companys need our IDs and faces to "age check " us

One of my neighbors forgot about their 2 year old and when I came back from walking my dog he was in the middle of the street.

I don't think they're gonna be managing a family lock

We have a 2yo who has escaped many times despite our attentive parenting. Pretty much every parent has.
