Apple has revamped its child-safety features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, centering everything on Child Accounts and age-based protections that expand as children mature. The update adds new permission controls, flexible Screen Time allowances, broader Communication Safety, and requires every device in a Family Sharing group to run iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, or visionOS 27. #Apple #ChildAccount #FamilySharing #ScreenTime #CommunicationSafety
