FamilyTime Parental Control App Rolls Out Important New Updates and Announces Groundbreaking New Features
The makers of FamilyTime parental control app have rolled out new updates to improve current features, security and app performance. The team also announced 'Internet Filtering' as a groundbreaking upcoming feature
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The leading parental control app FamilyTime has announced major new updates to the application that cover various aspects of the app and improve usability, functionality, and performance. These updates are discussed below.
Feature Updates
With the new update, 'Accessibility Permission' is a requirement. This means that the child will have to allow permissions before screen time features can be applied. This is a part of the increased security and compliance that we will discuss further in this story. With this feature, If a child disables any permission manually, the parent will be notified at 6pm daily through a push notification about all disabled permissions. To enable the permissions again the parents can simply follow the on-screen instructions in the notification to enable them.
Improvements also include a complete overhaul for the App Blocker, FamilyPause, and Limit Screen Time features that allow better control over a child's device. Improvements in the Daily Limit Feature and App Usage Report allow parents to set limits properly and make sure their children are using their phone based on your agreed upon schedule.
Performance Updates
The App installation process and data uploading has been made faster which helps users get the app up and running much quicker while the process has been made so easy that someone with minimal technical know-how can get it done. Updates have also been made to the way the app consumes battery so the battery life of the app on both the child app and parent app has been improved greatly.
Design Improvements and other Bugfixes to improve every aspect of the app, making it faster, more intuitive and a much better experience overall.
Security Updates
An update has also been made to the app uninstallation and settings protection which means children won't be able to uninstall the app and parents will have control over their settings and app permissions.
GDPR compliance for European customers will also be a part of this new update with multiple security updates to make sure all aspects of the app are compliant with the new GDPR standards.
New Feature Announcement
In addition to rolling out this massive update, the team at FamilyTime have also announced that they've been working on a number of groundbreaking Internet Filtering features and are almost ready to launch them to their userbase. The first feature they have officially announced is the 'SafeSearch' feature that would allow parents to restrict Google, Bing and YouTube searches on their child's device.
To complete the internet filtering suite of features, the team has given a sneak peek into the 'Content Filtering' feature that would allow parents to select specific categories and restrict content, websites, videos, and photos from those categories.

The app has always been ahead of the curve with regard to innovations in the parental control app space and continues to respond to parent's concerns with new features and updates.
