Pixel phones are getting even better parental controls

Google is likely to strengthen family digital safety with new Pixel features.

The search giant is likely bringing an all-new "Parental controls" setting under the Digital Wellbeing preferences on Pixel phones, spotted by Android Authority. It appeared on a Pixel 8 Pro (per the shared screenshot by the publication) in the recent Canary build with a description indicating it features "Digital ground rules & screen time limits." With the new findings in the Canary build, it showcases Google's intent in enhancing protection for kids with the inclusion of supposedly robust controls as part of digital well-being, and we expect to see more of it in the upcoming releases, probably after the Pixel 10 series, which are set to launch sooner rather than later.
