Question 188 of 750
Google Family Link: Managing Child Safety on Android
This 220-1202 practice question tests your understanding of mobile os features and tools. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A user is setting up a new Android tablet for a child and wants to restrict access to adult content, limit app purchases, and set screen time limits. Which built-in Android feature should the technician configure?
Quick Answer
The answer is Google Family Link, the built-in Android feature for managing child safety on Android. This is correct because Family Link provides centralized parental controls that allow you to restrict adult content through Google Play content filters, require approval for app purchases, and set daily screen time limits directly from a parent’s device. On the CompTIA A+ Core 2 220-1202 exam, this question tests your knowledge of Android’s native child safety tools versus third-party apps; a common trap is confusing Family Link with the device’s general “Users & accounts” settings or assuming a third-party app is required. Remember that Family Link is Google’s official solution, pre-installed on most modern Android devices or available from the Play Store, and it ties directly to the child’s Google Account. A helpful memory tip: think of “Family Link” as the link between parent and child devices—it literally links their accounts for oversight.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Google Family Link
Google Family Link is the built-in Android parental control feature that allows a technician to restrict adult content via SafeSearch filtering, limit app purchases by requiring parental approval, and set screen time limits through daily usage schedules. It operates by linking the child's device to a parent's Google account, enabling remote management of digital ground rules without third-party software.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
CompTIA A+ often tests the distinction between general user modes (Guest Mode) and dedicated parental control features (Family Link), leading candidates to mistakenly choose Guest Mode because they confuse temporary user isolation with content and time restrictions.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Family Link uses the Google Account management framework to enforce policies at the OS level: SafeSearch is applied via DNS-level filtering on Google Search, purchase restrictions leverage Google Play's parent approval token system, and screen time limits are enforced by the Android UserManager API, which locks the device after the daily allowance is exhausted. A subtle behavior is that Family Link requires the child's device to run Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later and must be enrolled as a supervised device, which cannot be removed without the parent's Google Account password.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the 220-1202 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
