How to Set Up Google Home Filters
To set up parental controls on Google Home devices, install the Google Home app. You can install the app from Google Play for Android or from iTunes for iOS devices. Once installed, you’re ready to configure filters and set up a downtime schedule. Now that you’ve finished going through the filter, all of the filtered devices you selected follow the filter rules you set in this wizard.
Set Up Downtime Controls
At the completion of setting up Filters, the Digital Wellbeing wizard lets you configure Schedule Downtime controls. These controls let you set a schedule, so your kids can’t use Google Home during certain hours every day.
Manage Digital Wellbeing Settings
Once you’ve gone through the setup wizard once, the next time you tap Digital Wellbeing in Settings, you’ll see all the filters and downtimes you set up. Tap any filter or downtime to modify it, or click Add device filter to set up new filters. Google Home makes it easy to bring the convenience of voice control into your home. Google Home filters ensure your children are protected from inappropriate content on the internet.
Why You Need Google Home Filters
With all of the conveniences that Google Home offers, there are a few dangers. Many families place these devices in every bedroom of the home. This means children have unrestricted access to internet content at all hours of the day. You can set filters to control what sort of access your kids have to the internet, and what hours of the day they can use the device.
