One of the biggest problems in today’s society that most families have to deal with is how to control their children’s access to the internet with mobile phones or other electronic devices such as tablets. There are sites that children should not view on the phone or tablet connected to the Internet.
Therefore, when your child requests a mobile phone or any electronic device that is connected to the Internet, you can monitor your child from the beginning using the google family link application.
So now let us see what this application is and what its uses are?
