Monitor Child’s Screen Time with Microsoft’s Family Safety App

The onset of Pandemic Coronavirus has created a horrendous situation globally, severely striking the global economy. What is most inflaming is the way it is impacting human psychology.

To confine the spread of this disease, which often turns out to be deadly for aged people and people with low immunity, people are mostly staying at home. Most importantly, the kids are at home, as the schools are also closed. Their screen time has increased due to online classes carried on by educational institutions, and the rest of the time, they are mostly engrossed in different social media platforms. This has become a matter of concern for the parents, and they are looking for remedial measures.

However, to give peace of mind to the parents, Microsoft has recently launched a Family safety app where parents can limit their kid’s screen time. It doesn’t matter if you are an iPhone user, Android Users or Windows users you can always download the app from the designated store for free. Being a parent, you can set a time limit for certain games on Android, iOS, Xbox and Windows Applications. And on request of your kids, you can also extend the time limit for another 15-30 minutes or even hours.

Apart from all these, you can receive an email notification when your kids try purchasing any from the Apps Store and also if you wish to scrutinize their screen time. The notion is to give you a better understanding of any approaching problems and have open chitchat with your loved ones.

What’s more?

Soon, by purchasing Microsoft’s 365 Family subscription, you can easily track the location of your family members. You will be receiving an alert when any of your family members are entering or departing any particular place.

One thing not to be forgotten is that such tools will not be of much help to those families who wish to spend too much time on screen but this initiative of Microsoft will surely help you to live a stress-free life both online and offline.
