Google hopes a new feature in its Family Link app will help parents find apps that are recommended by educators.
Google says it is adding a new card to the Family Link app that highlights what Google calls “nutritious” apps, or apps recommended by teachers. Parents can read more about recommended apps on their own phone and then tap to download those they approve to their child’s phone or tablet.
Google says the new Family Link card is available in the U.S. with a focus on apps for kids ages 6 through 9. Google expects to expand the tool to more countries over time.
