Features to keep you connected
Pixel 9a is a great first phone for your kids. For starters, Pixel 9a’s onboarding process makes it easier for parents and guardians to set up a new phone for kids. Google Family Link allows you to manage your child’s account and devices with features like screen time controls, app usage insights, app download approvals, privacy settings and location sharing.
School Time helps reduce distractions by limiting phone functionality and silencing notifications during school hours. Parents will soon be able to easily adjust time intervals and breaks to fit their children’s schedules — they can also choose the apps that are silenced and restricted.
And Google Wallet for kids begins rolling out on Pixel 9a in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Spain and Poland today. This allows kids to make safer, more convenient payments in stores with Google Pay and add supported passes — like movie tickets, library cards and loyalty cards — to their Wallet. Parents can add or remove payment cards to their child’s Wallet, track recent purchases and turn off access to passes in Family Link.
