School Time Feature Ison the way for Android, Wear OS Devices

School Time feature will be available on even more Android and Wear OS devices including the Galaxy Watches and select Android smartphones and tablets. Google plans to implement this expansion by the next year.

This feature was released in the Fitbit Ace LTW smartwatches earlier this year and now the tech company plans to expand the service to even more devices.

School Time Features

School Time ensures a child’s productivity during school hours by setting limitations on the child’s devices. This feature allows parents to make an effort to make sure their child does not get distracted during classes. Even when this feature has been turned on, parents can still contact their child in the case of an emergency.

This feature also lets parents choose and create a schedule for apps allowed for usage in classes. This can be done through the Family Link, Google’s parental control app. In addition, parents can choose who can contact their children during these class hours.

Parents can even switch on this feature when it is time to study or limit screen time. Parents can even set limitations and silence notifications for teenagers who do not fall under the usual School Time feature.

Furthermore, Google is introducing even more features that cater to teenagers. A new update that will be available this year will allow parents to monitor their teenager’s YouTube activity by linking accounts. Moreover, supervision through the Family Link will be permitted for all ages which gives more parental control. Google has also set default safety settings for underaged users. SafeSearch can be turned on and autoplay can also be turned off on YouTube. Lastly, ‘problematic’ content that can be harmful to impressionable teenagers has also been limited with newly introduced safeguards.
