Microsoft Family Safety App Features Weekly Report, Web Filters

The company said that the weekly digital activity report would be emailed to both parents and kids. The report is said to contain total screen time, followed by individual screen time of apps and games along with the section for most visited websites during the week.

The app also enables parents to limit screen time for certain apps and games with the parents having an option to limit the screen time on weekdays, weekends or every single day.

“These limits give my kids the flexibility to be on their devices more for learning but help keep them focused by limiting the amount of time they can spend on other apps and games,” Liat Ben-Zur, corporate vice president, Modern Life, Search and Devices, said in a release.
