Microsoft is now accepting applications from its users after launching the new Family Safety app (in preview) on Android and iOS.
This was promised earlier this year during the Microsoft’s 365 Digital Event in March 2020 where Microsoft announced the new Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions.
These subscriptions offer powerful set of free applications and services that help you create, share, connect, and collaborate with your friends and family across the web and on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
The app is now available on Android and iOS in a limited preview and you can head to this page to sign up.

The app provides transparency on where everyone is spending time online and allows you to create flexible schedules to carve out more time for things like online learning.
Here are the key features provided by the app.
1. Develop healthy digital habits: Activity reporting

3. Choose the right content: Content controls
