Apple’s YouTube channel today shared a video showing how parents can manage new and existing features of Apple’s child accounts. Watch it below.
A few days ago, we covered the many features that Apple has added to its suite of parental controls on its devices with the release of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.
Today, Apple released a fun new animated video that highlights many of these new possibilities, while also touching on existing features that help parents keep “kids even safer on iPhone, iPad, and Mac,” as Apple puts it.
As Apple explains, it all starts with creating a child account, which allows parents to choose age-appropriate protections for their personal devices.
Once this is implemented, Apple explains how parents can control what types of apps their children can access, approve new apps and games through Ask to Buy, and use the new Ask to Browse feature to approve or deny access to websites in Safari.
The video also highlights controls for approving new contacts, expanded Communications Security functionality, new time and schedule availability features, and more.
As a side note, although the art style is very different, the video is somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s “Intention” video that opened WWDC 2013, as both use simple shapes and playful movements to help convey the meaning and feelings of what they’re talking about.
You can watch the 2013 video here, and you can watch Apple’s new video below:
