To the delight of worried parents: Google TV is coming soon with kids profiles

Recall that Google TV is not a standalone OS and not a renamed Android TV, but an additional shell for Android TV. It is used in the new Chromecast media player, which debuted in October 2020.

Google TV users complain online that they lack full support for multiple profiles on the device. Especially for parents who would like to protect their children from some content and applications.

The fact is that you can use different Google accounts on the device, but there is no separate home screen, personal settings for streaming services, and so on for different users.

A Google spokesman confirmed that the company is working in this direction. We plan to launch kids profiles for Chromecast from Google TV next month. According to the developer’s description, the child profile will create a “safe space for children” on Google TV.
