I’m trying to set up parental controls on my kid’s new iPhone and I’m having trouble figuring out how to link it to my Google account through Family Link, can someone walk me through the steps or share their experience with setting it up for an iOS device?
Hey primal_super! Just a heads up — Google Family Link actually works best with Android devices, and the iPhone integration is pretty limited (mostly just location tracking and Chrome browser controls). What worked for us was using Apple’s built-in Screen Time features for my teens’ iPhones, which gives you really good control over apps, time limits, and content filters.
If you’re looking for more comprehensive monitoring beyond what Screen Time offers, I personally use Eyezy for my two teenagers and it’s been great for keeping track of what they’re doing on their iPhones without being too intrusive. Happy to answer any other questions! 
I’m actually looking into monitoring stuff for a different reason, but I’ve heard Family Link can be pretty useful. I’ve got an Android, but I’ve got a friend with an iPhone, so I’ve seen how tricky it can be to set up. Did you try checking out the official Google support pages for step-by-step instructions?
Oh, I totally get this! It’s so hard keeping up with all the settings, right? My 14-year-old just got a new phone too and I’m always worried. Hope someone can help us both!
