Google's latest System Services release notes confirm a new Android Family Hub, a dedicated space for family management tools inside Android Settings. According to Android Authority, the feature arrives with Google Play services v26.43.

What the release notes confirm

Google's latest System Services release notes confirm the Android Family Hub. Based on the report by Android Authority, it is designed as a dedicated space in Android Settings where family management tools are gathered in one place.

The feature is arriving with Google Play services v26.43.

Why the change is needed

Until now, managing a Google family group on Android has required switching between the Family Link app, the Play Store and various Google account pages. A single home for these controls would replace that scattered setup.
