However, you can limit your child&rsquo;s access to certain applications like &ldquo;Contacts&rdquo; and &ldquo;Messages.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware, however, that your child will then be unable to call you or send you text messages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-manage-my-childs-contacts\">How do I manage my child&rsquo;s contacts?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-manage-contacts-on-your-childs-device\">1. Manage contacts on your child&rsquo;s device<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can add, delete or block unknown\/unwanted contacts from your child&rsquo;s device manually &ndash; see earlier sections for how to block phone calls or text messages from saved or unknown contacts from your child&rsquo;s device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-manage-contacts-using-google-fi-and-family-linknbsp\">2. Manage contacts using Google Fi and Family Link <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you have a Google Fi plan, Google&rsquo;s own flexible mobile plans using multiple carrier networks, you can install Google&rsquo;s Family Link app to manage contacts on your child&rsquo;s device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the &ldquo;Block contact from strangers&rdquo; feature set up on your child&rsquo;s account, only numbers in your child&rsquo;s contacts will be able to call or text.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child will still be able to make calls and send texts to anyone. The numbers your child calls or texts can call or text them back for a month, even if not in your child&rsquo;s contact list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable this in the Fi app&rsquo;s Families setting. You first need to add your child&rsquo;s device as a supervised account under your group plan with Family Link to use &ldquo;Block contact from strangers. Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open the Fi app<\/li><li>Under Account, tap your child&rsquo;s name<\/li><li>Under Families, tap &ldquo;Edit Family settings&rdquo;<\/li><li>Toggle &ldquo;Block contact from strangers on or off&rdquo;<\/li><li>Accept sending a notification to your child&rsquo;s phone<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also request that your child turns &ldquo;Block contact from strangers&rdquo; on or off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Under &ldquo;Account,&rdquo; tap your child&rsquo;s name.<\/li><li>Under &ldquo;Families,&rdquo; tap &ldquo;Edit Family settings&rdquo;.<\/li><li>Under &ldquo;Block contact from strangers,&rdquo; tap Ask {your child} to turn it on.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Your child gets a notification on their phone to turn on the feature.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also view information about the number of attempted contacts blocked from your child&rsquo;s phone in the last 2 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-manage-your-childs-contacts-with-thirdparty-apps\">2. Manage your child&rsquo;s contacts with third-party apps<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can block, and view your child&rsquo;s contact remotely by using apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.mmguardian.parentapp&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US\" rel=\"noopener\">MMguardian<\/a>. MMguardian allows you to limit the number of contacts your child can be in contact with and lets you block unwanted numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app provides a &ldquo;Content Block&rdquo; section you can either set to Block Mode or Allow Mode. In Block Mode, the contacts in the block list will not be able to send calls or text messages to your child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Allow Mode, only the contacts that are in the allowed list will be able to contact your child.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-my-child-seeing-my-contacts\">Why is my child seeing my contacts?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you are wondering why contacts from your device are showing on your child&rsquo;s phone, it&rsquo;s likely because your child&rsquo;s device is logged in to the same Google account as your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can remove your Google account to remove all your contacts from your child&rsquo;s smartphone. Here&rsquo;s how you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open Settings on your child&rsquo;s phone &gt; Tap on Account name at the top<\/li><li>Select Sign Out &gt; Enter your child&rsquo;s mobile pin or pattern (if any)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-13 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a196023ff7.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a196023ff7.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-30\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a19607856f.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a19607856f.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-31\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a1960c58d8.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_621a1960c58d8.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-32\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But remember that if you remove a Google account from your child&rsquo;s device, your child will no longer be able to download any app from the play store as it requires a Google account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-family-link-control-phone-calls\">Can Family Link control phone calls?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Family Link parental control app does not in itself provide a way to block phone calls on your child&rsquo;s phone, unless it&rsquo;s combined with a Google Fi plan.
