Apple says it’s expanded its tools to help parents protect kids and teens online

Apple says it’s offering more ways to help parents ensure their kids and teens have age-appropriate experiences from the moment they set up their device, with new tools that build on the parental controls already available in Screen Time and on the App Store.

Apple has shared an update on new ways to help parents protect kids and teens online when using Apple products, including previously previewed features

With the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, visionOS 26, and tvOS 26 this fall, parents have more ways to ensure kids have age-appropriate experiences from the moment they set up their device, according to the tech giant. These new tools build on the parental controls already available in Screen Time and on the App Store, and are designed to help parents navigate the risks of an increasingly complex digital world. 

Like all Apple features, they are built with privacy and security at the core. You can find details here
