Google Wallet app will work on Android devices that are set up with Family Link. While Google hasn’t listed specific compatible devices yet, it’s possible that Pixel phones will get it first before it becomes available on other Android phones including Samsung.
When Google Wallet is available, parents will have tools to manage their kids’ spending. They will be able to see what their children are buying which helps to teach them about money management.
Moreover, this new feature will make it easier for kids to make purchases while giving parents the ability to monitor their spending. Parents can look forward to this upgrade, as it offers a safe way for children to handle money. Stay tuned with us for more updates.
