Google Wallet Lets Parents Control Kids' Spending | Tech News

Description

Google Wallet just launched a game-changing parental control feature letting you set up supervised kid accounts under 18 — think digital cash with safety rails. Parents can cap daily spending, monitor every purchase, get real-time alerts, and even pause or lock funds if a phone goes missing. It’s Apple Cash Family-level control, but built into Google’s ecosystem, and it lets kids pay via Android or smartwatch without needing a bank account — perfect for teaching financial responsibility early. Rolling out now in the U.S., with no word on global expansion yet.
