Android parental controls expand globally on Android 17

Android is enhancing its built-in parental controls, now available on all devices running Android 17, to help families manage screen time and digital wellbeing. Parents can set daily limits, schedule downtime, and control app usage directly from device settings, with integration into Google Family Link for additional features. This expansion coincides with Google increasing its U.S. digital wellbeing fund to $50 million, underscoring a commitment to promoting healthier technology habits and providing robust safety tools for children and teens worldwide.
