There are some updates related to child safety and parental controls that involve the Screen Time framework. In the session titled "Deliver age-appropriate experiences in your app," it was mentioned that the Screen Time framework provides tools for apps to help parents and guardians supervise their children's web usage. Additionally, the session "Enhance child safety with PermissionKit" discusses how children can request permission from their parents or guardians to communicate with unknown contacts, which can be approved using the Screen Time passcode.
These updates are part of Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance child safety and provide parents with more control over their children's device usage. If you are interested in more details, you might want to check out the sessions "Enhance child safety with PermissionKit" and "Deliver age-appropriate experiences in your app" for further insights.
