In iOS 26, there are several updates related to Screen Time and parental controls. The Screen Time Framework has been enhanced to provide tools for parents and guardians to supervise their children's web usage. Additionally, the Family Controls feature allows apps to offer their own parental controls on a device. The Sensitive Content Analysis API has been expanded to detect and block nudity in live streaming video calls, further enhancing child safety.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session titled "Deliver age-appropriate experiences in your app" which discusses these updates in depth. You can find more about these features in the chapter More ways to keep kids safe.
