Parents can take advantage of multiple features on Android in order to prevent unwanted purchases while also giving their child the freedom to request a purchase to their parents. These management features protect parents and children while encouraging positive digital habits.

If you are on an Android device, the Google Family Link app allows you to create a group for your family which can be easily managed. The app allows parents to set up Purchase Approvals and approve or deny these requests.

If you do not wish to use the Google Family Link app, you may also set up Purchase Authorization.
