Create & manage your family with Google Assistant

When you create a family group, you become the family manager. You can create a family group with up to 6 people. Some activities in Google products, like creating a child account or setting up a family library on Google Play, will automatically create a family group for you. To find if you have a family group already, go to g.co/yourfamily.
