During the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple unveiled a suite of new child safety and parental control features designed to enhance the online experience for children using its devices. The upcoming updates, available with macOS 27, iPadOS 27, and iOS 27, include the creation of 'Child Accounts' that offer age-appropriate protections, such as restrictions on adult websites and curated app recommendations. A notable addition is the 'Ask to Browse' feature, which requires parental approval for children to access new websites on Safari, complementing the existing 'Ask to Buy' system for app downloads. Furthermore, parents will have the ability to review and approve new contacts for communication via Phone, FaceTime, and Messages, while the updated Communication Safety feature will blur nudity in shared content and block graphic violence for users under 18. The new Time Allowances feature enables parents to set limits on app usage and create schedules for when certain apps are accessible. Apple has also redesigned the Screen Time dashboard to offer a clearer overview of children's device usage, making it easier for parents to manage their children's online activities effectively. These enhancements reflect Apple's commitment to ensuring child safety in an increasingly digital world.
