Google Maps & your child's Google Account

Children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country) whose accounts are managed with Family Link can only share their real-time location with their parents.

Any other real-time location sharing from Google Maps will be turned off if supervision was set up for an existing account of a child under the age of consent. 

A child won't see where they went with their devices, or get recommendations based on visited places.

Children over 13 (or the applicable age in your country) can share their real-time location with their parents and others.

Parents can stop future location sharing for their children by turning off device location settings.

When children can turn off location sharing

Children over 13 (or the applicable age in your country) who had supervision added to their previously existing Google Account can stop location sharing at any time. They can do this by stopping supervision or, depending on their supervision settings, by turning off Location History.

Important: Children whose parents provided consent for their child's continued use of their Google Account cannot stop supervision until they reach the applicable age and choose to manage their own account.
