  • Google Family Link is garbage. It's as simple as that. It's also another example of how Google refuse to engage with their customers.

      I'm literally 15 and my grandparents use this fucking app, it gave me more stress after they downloaded app, when I try to vent or talk with my friends, my grandparents always block my phone in random times. And for example, if you have android, on the lock screen there is only one icon for 'contacts' when I try to call my parents this mf comes up: "time for a break, your parents have locked this device" like what if you're in an CAR accident? How are you able to call your parents? I know my opinion might sucks but ok..

    As someone who has been controlled by family until the age of 13, I hated every single second. I was restricted so much. And remember - the stricter the parents, the sneaker the kids. I managed to watch TH-cam, search questionable stuff, and even start a TH-cam channel.
    If I ever have kids, I will rather talk to them and talk about their screen time than trust an app that damaged me.

    • @jirskyrjenkins1959
      @jirskyrjenkins1959 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Trust me, 100%, your kids won't listen to your "talks" about screen time. It's not entirely their fault: the internet aggressively attempts to get eyeballs on screens and kids aren't equipped to navigate that alone. The internet is also a cesspool and most parents are just trying to protect you from the stuff you should not be viewing, and to help you set healthy life-long screen/technology habits.
      If you interpret that as controlling and causing damage, that's a real shame. But please give your parents the benefit of considering that they are trying to do the right thing in a very new and wild age of technology.
      Personally I'm a child of the 80s and my parents really only had to intervene about television - there were no computers at home and certainly no internet. There was limited ability for me to be exposed to things that were completely inappropriate for my age. Of course I wasn't completely naive, I saw nude magazines and such, but on a scale absolutely dwarfed by what is readily available on the internet now.

    • @theblackrainbow
      @theblackrainbow 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @jirskyrjenkins1959 I see where you're coming from, however I'll still hate family link forever. When I was just a little kid controlled by it, I didn't learn how to manage healthy screentime without it feeling like a chore, so the second I no longer was monitored by family link, my screen time immediately skyrocketed and I was spending hours upon hours a day just to "compensate "

    i understand the bit of wanting to protect your kid and wanting to make sure that they're being safe and making sure they don't spend too much time on the phone but damn
    family link is just encouraging parents to be overly controlling and protective
    i personally don't own a phone, which is good
    and i'm glad my mom doesn't know about this and i'm glad i own a laptop where i have privacy and freedom gggg
    i feel absolutely terrible for kids who have controlling parents like this,, and i really wish that i could help in some way

There attitude towards customers, creators etc is absolutely indefensible. Just yesterday I tried to contact them over an ongoing issue where subscribers don't seem to be seeing my videos (I have fewer than 1% or views coming from subs), but all I got was a generic, automated response that literally had nothing to do with my question.

I have a day limit 2 hours, bedtime from 9pm to 10am that is the most annoying part and when I go to the play store I can't download anything because it says that I need to ask a parent, so I only have 2 games on my phone and each of them 5 minutes app limit. An other annoying thing is as you said we don't have Google play, so I can't save my progress. Also we don't have freedom and privacy if we must ask our parent for everything, and if our parents can see our location. Also when I go to a friend and I take my phone there I feel really embarrassed when my phone locks because I'm a teenager and my friends don't have this trash so I feel uncomfortable when my phone locks.

    look I'm 12 my self and what ima say is having this app is gonna get a kid to lose trust in there parent. I'm tired of not having privacy on my own phone, and its not even her phone its a phone I won in a gaming tournament, I'm sick of my phone being controlled by a app from google. its like in the futuristic movies that one app is controlling your devices, and that's how felling like, I don't know if you guys get what I mean but all am trying to say is don't get this app for your KID. what's the point of having a kid if your going to have a app to parent them.

    The main issue is that the software is shit, i.e. it has limited functionality and it's a real dog's breakfast trying to police what is or is not allowed across your Google ecosystem. For example the Chrome controls work well for internet browsing, but it's a complete shitstorm trying to manage any content on a Google Hub - the device simply ignores my kids, or isn't smart enough to do things like blocking youtube videos whilst still allowing youtube music.
    Underneath all this, as noted in the video, Google sets universal policies that will simply never meet the complicated needs of varied families. It's often difficult to figure out what these policies are. It either needs to be highly flexible, or you just delete the whole thing.

      Glad it's working for you. Unfortunately it's very hit and miss. I know people who've had no real issues, while others have run into all sorts of trouble. Sometimes both scenarios occur in the same family. That's why it's so annoying. You can't really know whether it's going to work or not and Google are less than helpful.

    My friend has this app and i can feel the pain, like all the apps are blocked even google drive, gmail and whatsapp, and she cant have contact with people on the phone's calling app because she cannot pay the fee, and also the google drive and gmail apps are for her projects and she cant use them while they are blocked, imagine there is an emergency situation and you need to communicate with someone but you cannot because of family link, that could cause deaths, right? Also people say family link saves lives but she showed the location feature and it was not even the right location, it didn't show the location of her house, just an random location of somewhere nearby, so the location can be innaccurate many times, that makes the argument of the app saving lives complicated.

He changed his password and then bocked Roblox. Also I feel like Google developers are brainless like they cant even responde to someone question. I wish I could become a hacker and hack this app. Also this dosent even have to do with links. Also the location is wrong. 1 person said that he/she was at school and his/her dad was asking him/her why was she/he at a train station
