What’s new

This update improves how WatchSafe delivers fixes and improvements—many updates can roll out after you install without waiting for another Play Store download. We’ve strengthened optional educational viewing goals and progress for families who use them, refined the child viewing experience (including cleaner end-of-video behavior), and fixed bugs around sign-in, the parent dashboard, and overall stability.
