Google Family Link 2.104.0.2026w41.993639935: what changed
The latest changes focus on how Family Link presents its controls, with a simplified design and a dedicated screen time tab. The app also brings together practical tools for setting boundaries, managing apps and staying connected to a child’s device.
What changed
- 01A simpler design for family controls
Family Link brings several kinds of family controls together, including screen-time rules, app management, privacy settings and location features. A simplified design is the headline change in this build. If you already use the app, look through its controls after installing so you can find the options you rely on in the updated layout.
- 02A dedicated screen time tab
Family Link lets parents see how a child spends time on their device and set daily limits. The app also supports school-time and downtime schedules, along with individual app limits. Use the screen time area to review the available controls and choose boundaries that suit your family’s routines and your child’s device.
- 03Useful tools for managing apps
Alongside its screen-time controls, Family Link offers ways to manage a child’s apps. Parents can set individual time limits, block apps, or allow unlimited time for selected educational or regularly used apps. These options can help tailor device rules to a child’s needs, rather than relying only on one overall daily limit.

Worth knowing
Family Link’s tools vary with the child’s device, so check the compatible-device information before relying on a particular control. Location features depend on the child carrying the device, and arrival or departure alerts are available through the app. Google Play says parents should regularly review installed apps and app permissions; an update from Google Play keeps your mail, data and settings.
