About Family Link parental controls
Family Link parental controls is a productivity application for Android, published by Google LLC. Once installed, it is identified on a device by the package name com.google.android.apps.kids.familylinkhelper, which is the detail to compare whenever you need to be certain the correct application is present.
Current release information The most recent release recorded for this app carries the date 2026-04-21. Its content rating is listed as unknown, so this page provides no official age guidance for the build. If you are keeping track of updates, compare the complete build identifier exactly as shown in the listing, since a shortened string can point to a different release and cause confusion.
Storage footprint of the download The package weighs in at just 1.7 MB, placing it among the lightest downloads in its class. Devices running close to their storage limit should still have no trouble making room, and the file type is not specified in this listing, so the transfer should complete quickly without placing much demand on space or bandwidth.
Device compatibility The build requires Android 6.0 or newer. Handsets and tablets already running that release or anything above it, including newer devices, satisfy the requirement, while a device on an earlier system will refuse the install. A quick check of the system version in settings before installing saves the effort of an attempted install that cannot complete.
Category and developer context Family Link parental controls sits in the productivity category, grouping it with tools built for organisation and everyday device management rather than entertainment. It is maintained by Google LLC, an established developer, which is useful context for anyone reviewing listings and comparing the package name, category and developer before adding a build to a device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which release does this listing describe, and who publishes it?
This listing describes the release dated 2026-04-21, published by Google LLC.

How much storage space will the download need?

The listing sets a minimum system requirement for this build, and any device meeting it, including newer devices, can install the app. Devices running an earlier system release will refuse the install.
