Guide to Adding an Additional Parent to Your Family Link Account
How do I add another parent to Family Link?
Adding another parent to Family Link is a straightforward process that can help ensure that both guardians have control and access to their child’s digital life. Family Link is a parental control app developed by Google that allows parents to monitor and manage their child’s device usage, app installations, and internet browsing. If you’re looking to add a second parent to your Family Link account, follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Family Link app on your device.
2. Tap on the child’s profile for whom you want to add a parent.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Manage family settings.”
4. On the next screen, tap on “Add a guardian.”
5. Enter the email address of the second parent you wish to add.
6. A verification email will be sent to the parent’s email address. Have them open the email and tap on the “Accept invitation” link.
7. Once the second parent accepts the invitation, they will be added to the Family Link account as a guardian.
By adding another parent to Family Link, both guardians will have the ability to:
– Monitor and manage the child’s device usage.
– Set screen time limits and bedtimes.
– Approve or block app installations.
– Review web browsing history.
– Receive activity reports and notifications.
It’s important to note that both parents will have equal access and control over the child’s account. This means that any changes made by one parent will be visible to the other. If you have any concerns or questions about adding another parent to Family Link, you can always visit the Google Support website or contact their customer service for assistance.
