To manage specific location notifications for Family Places within Google Family Link, you can adjust settings for when your child arrives at or leaves a designated location. This process controls the alerts you receive, rather than disabling your child's overall location sharing if that feature is enabled.
Here is a straightforward guide based on the provided steps:
Managing Location Notifications for Family Places
Google Family Link allows parents to set up alerts for specific locations, such as 'Home' or 'School'. If you wish to stop receiving notifications when your child arrives at or leaves one of these places, you can turn these specific alerts off.
Follow these steps to manage these location notifications:
- Open the Family Link app: Start by launching the Google Family Link application on your device.
- Select Your Child: Choose the profile of the child for whom you want to adjust location settings.
- Tap Location, then Family places: Navigate to the 'Location' section and then select 'Family places'. This is where predefined significant locations are managed.
- Select the Location: From the list of Family Places you have set up, tap on the specific location you want to modify notifications for.
- Turn "Arrives" On or Off: You will see an option to turn the 'Arrives' notification on or off for this specific place. Tap the toggle to turn it off.
- Turn "Leaves" On or Off: Similarly, tap the toggle next to 'Leaves' to turn the notification on or off for when your child leaves this particular location. Tap to turn it off.
By following these steps, you can disable the specific alerts related to your child arriving at or leaving a designated Family Place. This gives you granular control over the location-based notifications you receive through Family Link.
It's important to note that these steps specifically address managing notifications for predefined locations. Turning off these alerts does not necessarily disable the child's device's location services or their overall location sharing feature within Family Link, depending on how that was initially configured.
