Microsoft has quietly released a preview version of a newXbox Family Settings appon the Google Play Store (viaAndroid Police). The new Android app can be used by parents who have set up a Microsoft Family to see the Xbox gaming activity of their kids, and set screen time limits if necessary.

It’s already possible to manage your children’s activities directly in other places including the web, but this new Xbox Family Safety app will make all these features available on the go. It’s worth noting that Microsoft has also added the ability to set app and game limits and many other features on its separateMicrosoft Family Safety app, which is also available in preview on Android.

At a time when more people are playing games at home due to the coronavirus outbreak, it’s good to see Microsoft give parents more ways to control what kids are allowed to do on Xbox consoles. If you want to check out this app, you can download it from the link below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
