Parental Controls: Keep Spotify, Limit Distractions
Children may want Spotify and audiobooks, but parents may not want unrestricted access to video apps, games, or the web browser.
G7 and G7 Pro include a built-in Parental Control app. It lets you review time spent in each app, block selected apps, set app-use schedules, limit internet access during chosen periods, and protect the settings with a password. You can keep approved music and audiobook apps available while blocking YouTube, games, or the browser.
If your family needs additional account tools, you can also install Google Family Link when it is compatible with your account and regional setup. Follow our step-by-step parental control guide for G7 and G7 Pro.
Frequently Asked Questions for Parents
1. Which apps can my child use on the G7 and G7 Pro?
You decide which installed apps remain available. Because G7 and G7 Pro run Android, families can use compatible music, audiobook, and reading apps, then use the built-in parental controls to block selected apps while keeping approved ones available.
2. Can I block YouTube or the browser while keeping Spotify available?
Yes. Use Block Apps to disable selected apps, add schedules when access should only be available at certain times, and set internet restriction periods when needed. A parent password protects these settings. Spotify can remain available when you approve it and its connection or downloaded content is ready.
3. Do these players support wired headphones?
Yes! Both the G7 and G7 Pro come with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. While they feature modern Bluetooth for wireless buds, they are fully compatible with traditional wired headphones—perfect for school or long flights.
4. Can I use a Spotify Kids account?
Absolutely. You can download the Spotify Kids app directly from the Google Play Store. It’s a great way to give them access to age-appropriate content if you have a Spotify Premium Family plan.
5. Are they durable enough for daily use?
Definitely. These players are built with a sturdy construction that is much more resilient than a standard smartphone, designed specifically to handle the accidental drops and bumps of childhood.
