Apple is launching comprehensive child safety features in its upcoming software updates, including requiring parental approval for new communication requests by children. A new PermissionKit will allow developers to create similar communication control features in their apps. Existing protections for kids under 13 will be extended to those aged 13-17, with improved content safety tools that intervene during FaceTime calls and photo sharing. Age range sharing functionality is also introduced without revealing specific birthdates, while Apple's stance against strict age verification bills will continue to prioritize user privacy.
