TapTechNews August 2nd news, on local time August 1st, Google officially posted an announcement stating that next year, the SchoolTime function will be launched on some Android phones, tablets, and Samsung Galaxy Watch.
Parents can use SchoolTime to set their children's personal devices as a function-limited dedicated home screen during class time, thereby helping to reduce distractions during class. They can schedule and select allowed apps in SchoolTime in the FamilyLink parent control app, as well as allow specific contacts to make calls or send text messages. Outside of class time, SchoolTime can also be enabled when children need to focus or take a break.
Google said that the new teen parent supervision function is about to land on YouTube. In the update to be launched later this summer, parents and teens will be able to link accounts with each other, enabling parents to understand the YouTube activities of teens. In FamilyLink, supervision will apply to children of all ages.
According to TapTechNews' previous report, Google released Google Play Services (v24.18) on May 8th, and one notable improvement is the addition of the SchoolTime function for Wear OS smartwatches, and parent users can limit children's use of apps and mute their devices by setting SchoolTime.
