Urgent help

Family Link on Android

Use Google’s own help to choose screen-time settings and approvals for apps and purchases.

For parents4 min

What you can do

  1. Open Gaming & Screen Time, choose Aftaler (Agreements) and open Til voksne (For adults).
  2. Select Android under Barnets enhed (Child’s device).
  3. Follow the Family Link screen-time link or the Google Play purchase-approval link. Test the setup on the phone together.
  4. Only mark what you have checked on the phone. Checking a box in the web app does not change the phone’s settings.

Avoid

  • Listen first, without blaming or shaming your child.
  • Do not forward private messages, intimate images or explicit screenshots.
  • No app can protect against everything. Do not promise that it can.

For parents

Make clear that your child can get help even if they have broken an agreement.
