Google’s new Find My Device network finally launched back in April to a rather muted reception. The new device tracking was pretty basic at first, and the international rollout has been pretty slow. But it looks like Google may be getting ready to start offering some important features to the network — including support for Google’s Family Link.

Family Link is Google’s parental control software, letting you set up and place limits on your kid’s Android phone. Screen time limits, control over apps and websites they visit, device tracking and more. That last part is where Find My Device support comes into play.
