Google TV's new family page helps you find kid-friendly content

<p><a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/chromecast-with-google-tv-review-163024220.html">Google TV[/url] may now be easier to use when you're sitting down to watch shows with your kids. Google is <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://blog.google/products/google-tv/new-content-pages/">adding[/url] four new pages to the interface that include a Family section, where you'll find suggested content rated PG or lower. While this isn't a completely novel concept (Netflix has a dedicated Kids profile, for example), it should help you find titles that are safe for everyone to watch. The expansion also includes an EspaƱol page that, as the name implies, recommends Spanish-language content like movies, shows and live TV.</p><p>Other changes apply more universally. The Movies and Shows tabs have been turned into pages. You'll also find a few navigation tweaks that include a quick settings button and more convenient locations for profile and search functions.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The new pages are currently available in the US. The navigation updates are rolling out worldwide as of today. All the changes will be visible on devices that support Google TV, including Google's own Chromecast hardware as well as TVs from companies like Hisense and Sony.</p><p>The revamp doesn't come as a surprise. Google is competing with other platforms where child-safe content is either already walled off or dominates, such as Disney+ and Netflix. An update like this may make Google TV more compelling to young families, and creates more consistency with Google's own <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/youtube-kids-app-game-consoles-roku-143730173.html">YouTube Kids[/url].</p>
