Google's New Teen-Supervision Features To Arrive For Parents In YouTube & Family Link

Google has said that new safeguards would limit the recommendations of videos “with content that could be problematic, especially for teens, if viewed repeatedly, such as body image-related content.”

Google has been working on a number of features to enhance the overall user experience. Google has now released a new set of teen supervision features on YouTube and Family Link for parents. The tech giant announced in a blog post that these teen supervision features will arrive via a Google update later in the summer. These new upcoming features will launch on YouTube and Google’s Family Link service.

Parents & Children To Be Able To Link Their YouTube Accounts

Google's forthcoming update for YouTube, designed specifically for teen supervision, will allow teenagers to link their accounts with their parents'. This will enable parents to monitor their children's YouTube activities once they gain access to the account.

The tech giant has said that it recently introduced new safeguards that would limit the recommendations of videos “with content that could be problematic, especially for teens, if viewed in repetition – such as content related to body image”.

Before this feature, Google used to have a few default safety settings for underage kids such as SafeSearch, content restrictions and the ability to turn off autoplay on YouTube.

Supervision For Teenagers To Be Enabled In Google’s Family Link

The forthcoming update from Google will introduce supervision capabilities for all age groups within the Family Link parental control portal. This enhancement will enable parents to oversee the applications, products, and activities their teenagers engage with, as well as track their online behavior. Additionally, this update, which targets teens specifically, will give parents the ability to establish screen time restrictions and enable location sharing for their children.

Google in the blog post said, it is “continuously investing in research and development to address the evolving needs of parents and children.” It added that it has been been “working closely with experts in child development, education and technology” to help “shape a future where technology continues to facilitate learning and exploration.”
