Apple recently published a new web site meant to help families manage their iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple accounts.
The site offers high-level overviews of all the parental controls available, as well as deep-dive tutorials with step-by-step directions on how to enable each tool. Parents have long been able to manage iTunes purchases, control content, set time/usage limits, see location data, share calendars and iTunes purchases, and more.
The new Families web page is meant to serve as a central resource. It describes in detail how parents can reduce distracted driving for teens, set family groups and manage communications, find lost devices, and so on.
The web site arrives after shareholders published an open letter earlier this year asking the company to address smartphone addiction.
