Features to Keep You Connected

The Pixel 9a is an excellent choice as a first phone for children. To begin with, the onboarding process for Pixel 9a simplifies the setup process for parents and guardians. With Google Family Link, you can manage your child’s account and devices, complete with features such as screen time controls, insights into app usage, approval for app downloads, settings for privacy, and location sharing.

The School Time feature helps minimize distractions by limiting the phone’s functionality and muting notifications during school hours. Soon, parents will be able to easily adjust time intervals and breaks to accommodate their child’s schedule, and they will also have the option to choose which apps are silenced and restricted.

Additionally, Google Wallet for kids is now available on Pixel 9a in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, and Poland. This feature enables kids to make payments more safely and conveniently in stores using Google Pay and add supported passes, such as movie tickets, library cards, and loyalty cards, to their Wallet. Through Family Link, parents can add or remove payment cards from their child’s Wallet, monitor recent purchases, and disable access to passes.
