How it works
Google Pixel tablets have a large screen and allow users to do things like access the internet, watch videos, play games, listen to music, read books and download millions of apps through the Google Play Store. Since Android is created by Google, its Pixel tablets are said to deliver a quality Android experience with fast, timely updates to software and security.
Pixel tablets now include the Gemini AI (Artificial Intelligence) app, which is a digital assistant that a user can ask for help with creative tasks like making pictures as well as day-to-day activities such as writing emails and planning a trip. It can summarise information and help the user learn new things and its responses feel like natural conversation (written or spoken).
Parental controls or safety settings available
Google Pixel tablets do have parental controls and safety settings available and these can be accessed through its Google Family Link app. This gives parents the ability to:
• Set daily time limits
• Restrict their child’s access to specific apps, websites or features
• View the location of their child’s device
The Digital Wellbeing settings can also be used for managing screentime.
Google Kids Space is available on Google Pixel tablets. It is positioned as being a safer mode for children to access a select range of age-appropriate apps, books, and videos. This may be useful for families with multiple children using the same tablet, as parents can create separate user profiles. Google Kids Space is managed through the Google Family Link app.
