It should be recalled that Microsoft announced last month that its new subscription service to Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) will offer family-oriented features, such as the new Family Safety app that combines multi-platform screen time data and provides tracking information . After two months of public beta. Software giant Microsoft said today that the application is stabilizing.
Microsoft Family Safety is synced to Windows, Xbox, and Android, so game and app deadlines will be synced across multiple devices. This prevents children from changing devices to get overtime playing Minecraft or Fortnite. Certain applications can also be completely blocked.
Parents can see screen time data across all of a child’s devices, set time limits for certain apps/games, and configure web filters for Microsoft Edge (though only on Windows/Xbox). Family members can also see where everyone else is currently located on a map.
In addition to these features, Microsoft used the early feedback from the beta run to enhance the app in a few more ways:
- We added a new feature to block or unblock specific apps.
- We updated our designs to be more accessible and inclusive (i.e. improved visual contrast to help low vision users and provided additional context for screen reader users).
- We added more time options for parents to quickly respond to requests for screen time (i.e. you can now easily add 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours or more of screen time).
- We added location clustering to see when multiple family members are at the same location (i.e. when multiple people are in one place you can see that there are 4 people and zoom in to see who it is).
If you’re interested in giving the app a go, you can download it from the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
