Microsoft Family Safety Download

Through Microsoft Family Safety parents can establish daily usage limits which apply to Windows and Xbox systems and Android devices. All linked devices share the same limits which stops children from getting around restrictions by moving between screens. The weekly reports show parents how their children use their devices.

App and Game Controls

Through content ratings parents have the power to accept or deny access to specific apps and games. The system enables children to view content that matches their age group. The system prevents users from accessing blocked applications regardless of their previous installation status.

Web and Search Filtering

The safe browsing features operate exclusively through Microsoft Edge to block dangerous websites and filter out risky search results. The SafeSearch feature enables parents to block adult content while providing their children with a safer online environment.

Location Tracking

Users can access real-time location updates about their family members through the app interface. Users can establish geofencing alerts to get notifications about family members entering or exiting specific areas including their home or school.

Driving Safety

The driving safety feature requires a Microsoft Office 365 subscription to track speed and phone usage and sudden braking events. Microsoft Family Safety app enables parents to promote better driving habits among their family members.

Privacy and Security

The data collected from family members stays secure within their private family group. Microsoft maintains strict privacy policies by not distributing the collected data to outside organizations.

Cross-Platform Integration

The Microsoft Family Safety platform functions seamlessly between Windows, Xbox and Android platforms. Parents access all settings management through their mobile application and online dashboard.
