Apple overhauls Screen Time with smarter parental controls at WWDC 2026
TL;DR Summary
Apple unveiled a redesigned Screen Time across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 with stronger parental controls: parents can limit who kids can talk to in Messages, restrict apps/content, and use category-based time allowances (Entertainment, Games, Social Media) plus an 'Ask to Browse' option; guided by pediatric recommendations, the updates provide a starting point for time limits that can be adjusted while emphasizing on-device privacy.
