Google Play’s Family Library Lets You Share Movies, Apps, and Books with the Fam
Toggle Dark Mode
According to a new CNET report, Google is adding a nifty new feature that lets you share content and save money. Called the Google Play Family Library, this addition allows anyone with a Google Play account to share their movies, games, apps, and books with up to six family members for no charge.
Similar to the Apple Family Sharing Plan, the Family Library basically allows a family to share a single Google Play account and save a bunch of money in the process. Google initially experimented with and debuted a similar feature through its Google Play Music family plan, which costs $15 and is separate from the Family Library.
If you don’t want your family to be aware of your embarrassing taste in movies, have no fear: Google gives the original account holder the option of restricting the content that can be shared. This is also perfect for parents who want to give their kids access to appropriate content only.
While the Family Library feature is free, Google requires that you sign up for it with your credit card so that any future purchases will be charged.
The Google Play Family Library is slated to roll out in countries all over the world by the end of this month.
