# Apple puts parents back in control of kids’ iPhone use

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 4 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Apple announced redesigned Screen Time parental controls at WWDC, giving parents more granular tools to manage children's iPhone use. New features include age-based safeguards on setup, smart app suggestions, website browsing controls via 'Ask to Browse' (on by default for under-13s), contact management, and text message content filtering. Screen time recommendations are now informed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Developers also get new APIs to help enforce age-appropriate content. These features will ship with iOS 27 in fall.
