Apple’s YouTube channel shared a video today showing how parents can manage new and existing features of Apple’s child accounts. See it below.
A few days ago, we covered several features that Apple has added to the suite of parental controls across its devices with the release of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.
Today, Apple released a fun new animated video that highlights these new possibilities, while also touching on existing features that help parents “keep kids safer on iPhone, iPad and Mac,” as Apple puts it.
As Apple explains, it all starts with Child Account settings, which allow parents to choose age-appropriate protections for their personal devices.
With that, Apple explains that parents can control what apps their kids can access, approve new apps and games through Ask to Buy, and use the Ask to Browse feature to approve or deny access to websites in Safari.
The video also highlights new contact approval controls, expanded communication security features, new time authorization and scheduling features, and more.
As a side note, although the graphic style is very different, the video is reminiscent of Apple’s “Intent” video that opened WWDC 2013, both using simple shapes and playful movements to help convey the meaning and feeling of what they are talking about.
