Microsoft Family Safety

About

Microsoft Family Safety helps parents manage their children's digital and physical well-being. It suits families seeking to balance screen time and online exploration. For instance, parents can set app limits on a child's tablet to ensure homework is completed before playtime.

What Stands Out

• •Set app and web content filters on Microsoft Edge to ensure age-appropriate online browsing for children.
• •Manage screen time limits for specific apps and games across Android, Windows, and Xbox devices.
• •Receive weekly email activity reports detailing children's digital usage to facilitate conversations.
• •Utilize location sharing to track family members' whereabouts and save important places like home or work.

Things to Consider

Premium features like location alerts and drive safety require a Microsoft 365 Family subscription. Drive safety is regionally restricted to specific countries. Location tracking and drive safety features require active location permissions to function correctly.
