After this update, Google Assistant will become even more kid friendly and safe.

Before, we didn't see any parental controls in Google Assistant.

[{"selector":"#anim-47beb11e-beba-41d6-b0f4-a1b652150948","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6380886-7f16-413f-8542-67ae41378507","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

But Google has claimed that now children will be able to interact with their devices through Google Assistant.

[{"selector":"#anim-4dbc65b4-d53a-44a2-91dc-75a235d5bf27","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-783e7899-a5ed-43f0-ab8e-86d86737911c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.73481%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

Google Assistant will allow users to control the type of content, features and tools.

[{"selector":"#anim-09901aa2-c2d2-4031-afb4-6c79c243b9a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e93c9efe-e765-43e9-bb1d-88f40754ad63","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

By this, parents will not have to keep monitoring their children again and again.

[{"selector":"#anim-f63865bb-64be-4014-9817-f0dab841657d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa2be95d-57bc-486d-8d11-abd28241a8f3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

It will also have a new Downtime tool for setting up schedules for when kids can use Google Assistant.
