Apple unveiled a new suite of child safety tools and family experiences at this year's WWDC, spending significant time highlighting the new features as the tech industry grapples with age verification and online safety. The company's new Child Accounts features, which are available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, include parental monitoring tools like Ask to Browse, a feature that requires minor users to get permission to surf the internet or go on specific websites.
Parents have already had the option to set up child accounts under Apple's Family Sharing experience, which includes age-appropriate content tools, screen time oversight, App Store controls, and communication limits.
