Question 1

Can you set up parental controls on the Google Play Store?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The Google Play Store provides a built-in parental control feature that helps parents monitor and manage their children’s activities and access on the platform. By enabling parental controls, you can restrict access to certain categories of content such as apps, games, movies, TV, and music. In addition, parental controls on Google Play Store can help you prevent unauthorized or accidental in-app purchases by requiring authentication for these purchases. While these controls provide an initial layer of protection, for more comprehensive oversight you should consider a parental control app like Qustodio.

Question 3

How do I stop my child from downloading apps on Google Play?

Accepted Answer

You can prevent this by using the platform’s parental control settings. Within the parental controls, you can select the “Apps & games” category and choose the appropriate age rating for your child. Once this setting is enabled, any apps or games outside of this chosen age rating will require your approval (through the PIN you set up) to be downloaded. For more control, consider using a third-party parental control app like Qustodio, which allows you to monitor app downloads, app use, and much more.

Question 4

How to remove parental control on Google Play?

Accepted Answer

To remove parental controls on Google Play, go back to your Google Play Store app and tap on the profile icon at the top right corner. Navigate to Settings > Family > Parental Controls. Here, you’ll need to enter the PIN you set up when you turned on parental controls. After entering your PIN, you can simply toggle the parental controls option off. Please note that turning off the parental controls will remove any content restrictions in place, and you should do this only if it’s necessary or if you’re planning to set up a more comprehensive parental control system like Qustodio.
