Approval of someone who can and cannot contact your child and cannot contact

You can already block unknown numbers in messages, and IOS 26 allows parents to approve numbers that can send text messages or call their child. When your child gets a message or call from an unknown number, they will have to send a request to their parents to allow them to receive the message or call.

So if your child’s friend wants to contact them, you will have to agree to his number. But if your 12 -year -old child gets strange messages, sang, you can block this sender.

This feature is available on third -party applications, which may allow parents to agree to those who talk about their children, follow him and become friends in applications such as Instagram, but on developers of these applications are to build the Apple framework first.

Funny nudity in some applications

Another child’s safety feature that iOS 26 is that it will dismantle the discovered nudity during FaceTime calls and in any joint albums in pictures of iPhone for your child.

Application store changes

Part of IOS 26 safety changes include the updated ages of the applications in the Apple App Store, including indicators if the application contains content created by the user, messages, advertising capabilities or content control items.

The application store will also not display your child’s applications with higher categories of their content restriction range in the game tabs or apps apps today, as well as in editing stories. If the application is higher than the child’s content restriction range, you can make an exception to this application through Request to buy the feature.

Experiences in the appropriate application for age

If you agree to your child to download an application of his device on his devices, you can also choose to share the age range (for example 13-17) with the application developer.
