Microsoft Launcher now allows us to geolocate our children: this is how Microsoft's parental control works
It is easy to confuse the ease shown by children in the use of technologies with which they are sufficiently prepared to use them without taking risks . It is for this reason that there are so many applications related to parental control , aimed at ensuring that children use the mobile phone in a controlled manner in order to avoid any danger.
Microsoft is not new in the field of parental control. In 2007, it launched a stable version of Windows Live OneCare, which evolved to integrate with Windows 8 in 2012 under the name of Microsoft Family Safety and in 2015 it unified all the configuration of the different family accounts, both PC and mobile , in a single free service, Microsoft family . Now, just released a group of similar features in Microsoft Launcher , its launcher for Android.
The great novelty that incorporates the Microsoft launcher in version 4.10 is the possibility of knowing precisely the latest interactions of minors associated with the Microsoft Family account with their Windows 10 and Xbox One devices and Android , if they have the Microsoft Launcher installed These interactions include the last known location , the apps used and the time they have dedicated to each of them.
To activate this function it is necessary to have added each one of the Microsoft accounts of the family and that these accounts have accepted to be part of Microsoft Family. Once this formality has been overcome, all that remains is to slide to the left of the Microsoft Launcher to discover the Family section card.
