Specifically, it helps you control the type of content, app, and digital experiences that your children have on their devices. That said, there are Google Family Link apps for both Android and IOS. But, you can\u2019t use the app unless your children use Android devices. Hence, the Google Family Link isn\u2019t meant for managing your kid\u2019s digital usage on iPhones or other smartphone operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"google family link interface\" class=\"wp-image-5838\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-family-link-interface.png 1724w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Do_with_Google_Family_Link_on_iPhone\"><\/span><strong>What Can I Do with Google Family Link on iPhone?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you may wonder exactly what you need Google Family Link for. Here are the specific uses to look forward to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Screen time management:<\/strong> You can set daily limits on your child&#8217;s overall time on their Android device. And you can schedule specific hours as downtime including specifics like Bedtime mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>YouTube limitations: <\/strong>Aside from other apps, you can pick between YouTube kids, monitor experience, or not impose any restrictions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage kid\u2019s Google account<\/strong>: You can easily help reset or edit passwords for your kid\u2019s Google account. This also means you can delete their account if you need to.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>App restrictions:<\/strong> You can review and approve all app downloads before installation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Content restrictions<\/strong>: You can filter websites and YouTube videos to prevent and block access to inappropriate material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remote app monitoring<\/strong>: You can remotely install apps or remove apps from their smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Cant_I_Do_with_Google_Family_Link_on_iPhone\"><\/span><strong>What Can&#8217;t I Do with Google Family Link on iPhone?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt, there are a ton of things you can do with Google Family Link to safeguard your kids. However, since you\u2019ll be using Google Family Link from your iPhone, there are some features you may not access until you\u2019re using an Android device yourself. Here are the features on Google Family Link that you won\u2019t access from your app on your iPhone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limited app view: <\/strong>\u00a0You won\u2019t be able to see your kids&#8217; activities on Google apps. This includes apps like Google Maps, Google Docs, Sheets, and lots more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can\u2019t see their location: <\/strong>You won\u2019t be able to access their location data which is a serious downside.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can\u2019t access Geofencing:<\/strong> You won\u2019t be able to set up Geofencing or receive alerts when your children arrive or leave certain places.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Supervised chat<\/strong>: You cannot supervise how they interact with their friends on the various messaging apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>YouTube Restricted Mode<\/strong>: You\u2019ll be able to manage their YouTube experience with great limitations. For instance, you cannot use the YouTube Restricted Mode which allows you to identify particular apps you like for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Screen time<\/strong>: You can place an overall screen time limit. But you can\u2019t restrict how much time they spend on specific apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remote lock or wipe: <\/strong>You cannot remotely lock or wipe their phone.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited website permissions:<\/strong> You won\u2019t be able to set website limitations to control the type of content they access in Google Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_Limitations_of_Using_Google_Family_Link_on_iPhone\"><\/span><strong>Advantages &amp; Limitations of Using Google Family Link on iPhone&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the unique features to look out for, you want to know about all the wholesome benefits as well as drawbacks to expect on the Google Family Link. Here are the benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Centralized control: <\/strong>Google Family Link enables you to manage multiple child accounts from a single-parent dashboard\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Control over your kid&#8217;s content: <\/strong>You can easily keep an eye on the apps and content your kids are exposed to with opportunities to help them manage their screen time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track location: <\/strong>Enjoy real-time access to your kid\u2019s whereabouts with opportunities to set up geo-fencing alerts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Screen time health:<\/strong> Google Family Link allows you to help your children build healthy screen time habits.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s talk about the drawbacks to expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rely on Google services: <\/strong>Google Family Link relies almost explicitly on Google\u2019s ecosystem. The accuracy of monitoring other third-party apps on their smartphone is heavily restricted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Family Link will be clunky<\/strong>: Since you use Google Family Link on IOS, you won\u2019t even have the full experience. You\u2019re better off managing their digital use from Google Family Link on Android.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete supervision<\/strong>: You won\u2019t be able to check your child\u2019s browsing history, reset their account password, remotely check their screen, or even choose a new screen lock password on their device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Control In-app purchases:<\/strong> You can only control the apps your kids purchase directly on the Google Play Store. But you can\u2019t purchase the in-app purchases after they\u2019ve downloaded the apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Potential for workarounds: <\/strong>Since you only get the best results on Google apps,\u00a0 your control over other third-party apps creates vulnerabilities that children can exploit to bypass certain restrictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Google_Family_Link_on_iPhone\"><\/span><strong>How to Use Google Family Link on iPhone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As said earlier, the Google Family Link is primarily designed for Android devices. But you can download the free app on your iPhone to monitor your children\u2019s Android smartphones and tablets.
