Google フォト for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Google フォト safe for kids?
Google フォト carries a family-friendly official rating (3 歳以上) on the Google Play. That makes it broadly suitable, but even family-rated apps can include chat, ads, or in-app purchases, so check the factors below.
What age rating does Google フォト have?
The Google Play rates Google フォト as 3 歳以上. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use Google フォト safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove Google フォト from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find Google フォト and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
