How to use parental controls on speakers with the Google Assistant

Parental control is an excellent tool for those who have children and do not want them to be able to access content that is not intended for them. They have existed for a long time on different devices, such as computers and tablets, and are also available on smart speakers, such as those from Google. We show you how to activate it so that you are much calmer. The job of parental controls is to act as a filter when accessing different information on the web, in this way, it is possible to block reading a text that is not recommended to listening to a song that has a age limitation that does not fit with children. And, all this, without you having to act at all times because the operation is automatic. A great tool, no doubt. How to activate parental control on Google speakers We show you the steps you have to take to do this and, therefore, have a fairly precise control of what a child listens to on a speaker that includes the Google assistant (that is, say, that you will not have problems even with podcasts).
