JAKARTA Apple introduced a series of the latest child safety features, one of which is the ability to limit children's communication. Parents now have to agree to all the numbers contacted by their children.
This feature will apply to the Messages app. Apple says that children under 18 cannot call new numbers without the consent of their parents. That way, parents can monitor who their children are calling.
In a preview shared by Apple, it can be seen that a child sends a request to contact a friend. Parents who receive requests will see two options to respond. They can refuse or review their contacts first.
"Children have to send requests to their parents when they want to communicate with a new phone number. Parents can easily agree with a single tap on the Message," Apple said, quoted on Thursday, June 12.

Apple has also created PermissonKit so that parental controls can be adopted by third-party applications. When the app adopts Apple's framework, children can send requests to chat to make friends with someone to their parents.
In addition to launching the feature, Apple will also tighten rules for children under the age of 13 with the Child Account policy. Children of this age category are allowed to use devices, but with web content filters and app restrictions.
Meanwhile, children between the ages of 13 to 17 will get protection according to their age. They will get additional protection features that include web content filters and Communication Safety.
