Last night, Microsoft released its Family Circle security app on iOS and Android. The concept is to allow you to monitor and manage the time of your circle of family members on the Internet. Plus, you can give you stats about your children’s PC and Xbox.
The app allows you to monitor app usage and visits on all devices, but only if you use Microsoft’s Edge browser. In addition, it sends you weekly usage reports and triggers alerts when your kids make a purchase in the Microsoft or Xbox store.

First, you want to download the app to your device and ask your circle of family members to do so as well. Restricting apps on Android, PC, and Xbox is probably the ultimate life feature. You can also set up content search filters, but if your kids use Chrome or any other browser, they can easily search for parts they don’t want you to see.
Now, to configure app restrictions, you want to upload your kids from the home screen. Once they have joined the family circle group, ask them to access the settings and activate the activity report. The app also invites you to turn on accessibility and usage restriction settings on your children’s phone. This is the only way to configure the app’s timers.
Here’s how to do it:
If your children open one of the blocked apps, the app will close and receive a notification asking them to allow them to use the app.
You have to stay in your brain some things. Blocking apps and restricting third-party apps on iOS is not allowed. So, this app is basically useful if your circle of family members uses Android and Windows devices.
Also, if you want to set up content and search for filters, you want to block other browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
