Google has recently announced that they will be making changes to the Play Store to make it easier for parents and families to find and discover apps suited for children. “Starting today, we’re making it easier to find great family-friendly content on Google Play. Parents can now find family destinations across the Play store, with new features for browsing by age and interests.”
They will be introducing features such as a family star rating which basically shows at-a-glance the intended age range for a particular app, so that parents can decide if this is something their kid should be playing. There will be new labels introduced to show which apps are ad-supported, and users can also search for apps based on popular children’s entertainment characters.
Parental controls have also been updated and improved upon. This allows parents to limit the amount of downloads their child can make, along with purchases and streaming of content. These new Family friendly features are expected to roll out over the course of the next couple of weeks.
