PlayStation is launching a new PlayStation Family app for iOS and Android to help parents manage their child\u2019s playtime on PS5 and PS4. Parents can already set parental control features directly on a console, but this app gives parents another way to set limits and keep track of what their kid is playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe app includes a number of new customizable features for parents to manage their children\u2019s playtime, including an activity report, more visibility into what their children are playing, and approving extra playtime requests,\u201d according to a blog post<\/a>. The app also has an onboarding experience to help parents set up a child account, lets parents manage a child\u2019s spending on the PlayStation Store, and gives parents the ability to customize privacy settings for their children.<\/p>\n Nintendo<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a> also offer dedicated parental control apps for iOS and Android that lets parents manage playtime on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PlayStation is launching a new PlayStation Family app for iOS and Android to help parents manage their child\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2062,77,1583,12,342,326,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-414729","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apps","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-gaming","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-playstation","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115183402558226677","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
