gimme the website to enable "download apps from unknown source" for google chrome on family link

1 answer

To enable the option to download apps from unknown sources on a device managed with Google Family Link, you won't find a dedicated website for this setting. Instead, you'll generally need to adjust settings directly on the Android device or in the Family Link app. However, it's important to note that Google restricts certain features, including the ability to enable installations from unknown sources, to ensure the safety of children using managed devices.

Here’s how you can check and modify settings in Family Link:

  1. Open the Family Link app on your parent device.
  2. Select your child’s account.
  3. Tap on “Manage settings”.
  4. Tap on “Device information” and check available options. You may find settings related to app permissions, but direct control over installing from unknown sources may not be available.

If you need to install apps from unknown sources, you typically would have to do this without Family Link restrictions or manage this on the specific device settings if those options are available.

Important:

It's advisable to be cautious about enabling unknown sources as it may expose the device to security risks. Make sure the apps you intend to install are from trusted sources.
