Parental control and Family Link will arrive integrated into Android Q

All parents should be in control of what their underage children do or at least know what they do with their mobile. The best way to achieve this on Android is to use parental control although its configuration and use is generally very confusing. To solve this on Android phones, Google launched Google Family Link a long time ago.

This rather little-known application allows you to set usage controls, limitations, and the kind of things a parent needs to control their children's use of their mobile phones.Furthermore, Family Link has made this task easy to perform. The good thing about the next version, Android Q, is that Family Link will arrive integrated into the system, along with the Digital Wellbeing application.

Android Q will integrate parental controls as standard

And this, which may seem silly, is a great novelty. All phones with Android Q will come with integrated Parental Control and will allow us to activate it without any need to download extra applications. Google announced it at Google I/O 2019 but it has not been until now, with the launch of beta 5 of Android 10, when it has been possible to test it.

If you have a device with the Android 10 beta, you can try it now, because the application can be downloaded from APK Mirror as indicated in Android Police.Once the update of the Digital Wellbeing app has been downloaded and installed, a new section called Parental Control will appear that allows us to configure Family Link. If you do not have the application configured, the system will encourage you to download it to create all the usage patterns you want.

You can now activate parental control on Android

If you don't have a mobile with Android Q, you should know that you can still activate Parental Control on your mobile without any problem. You just have to download Google Family Link from Google Play. Setting it up is very easy and allows you to establish a lot of filters to control all the use that your children make of the mobile

It is curious, above all, that such a necessary and useful tool does not come standard installed on Android phones. Many will be surprised to see this news but surely on many occasions they have wondered how to activate it and have not found the option no matter how much they have searched on their Android phone.
