Google Family Link is a solid free tool for basic parental oversight on Android devices. Key features include:

App Management: Approve/block downloads from Google Play in real-time.

Screen Time Controls: Set daily limits, downtime schedules, and lock the device remotely.

Location Tracking: Real-time GPS via Google Maps with geofencing alerts.

Content Filtering: Restrict mature apps, websites, and YouTube content based on age.

Drawbacks? It’s Android-heavy (iOS support is spotty), location updates can lag, and kids over 13 can request to “graduate” and disable controls. For deeper monitoring like social media alerts or stealth mode, pair it with mSpy—it’s a game-changer for iOS/Android cross-platform tracking.

Pro tip: Link Family Link to a shared Google account for quick setup hacks.
