Apple reveals new child safety features and its approach to age assurance

In a new whitepaper published today, Apple outlined several tools it already offers to parents and developers to “help enhance child safety while safeguarding privacy. This includes Screen Time, Find My, Communication Saftey, Communication Limits, and more.

Over this year, Apple is introducing new features to build on its commitment to user privacy, security, and safety for children:

• Make it even easier for parents to set up Child Accounts that underlie many of our parental controls.
• Put parents in control by allowing them to share information about the age range of their kids with apps to enable developers to provide only age-appropriate content, all without needing to share their birthdate or other sensitive information.
• And further enhance parents’ insight and control over their kids’ experiences by updating our age ratings, adding more useful information on product pages, and making browsing safer on the App Store.
