    Family Safety App not working


    I use Family Safety App to manage my sons xbox and Microsoft Laptop. I use the app on my Iphone 13 running IOS 16. For the past month, the app has been doing two things:
    1. suddenly closing on me when attempting to approve a request

    2. not registering the approval on my sons device

    I have deleted the app and reinstalled and it made no difference.

    :)

    Xbox parental controls for apps do not work effectively

    Yes, but the family safety app only works *if they are using the edge browser*, and it doesn't prevent them from downloading apps that have other browsers that family safety doesn't filter. As far as blocking individual apps, I explain why that is a bad solution in the second paragraph of my original post.

    Why isn't enforcement.xbox.com working?

    That didn't work it just redirected me here:https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/online-safety/manage-app-privacy-settings-xbox-one

    Family Safety NOTIFICATION Settings... why can I not find a way to change them online?

    The problem is not on Xbox. The problem is associated with the Microsoft Family Safety App as well as the online Family Safety website.

    There was no option under the list of “products” close to the Family Safety App except under Xbox when I submitted this request for help. Nor is there a “chat” or “phone” support option for the App…

    I appreciate the above info but it is all unrelated to the Family Safety App which affects use across more than just Xbox, such as laptop, online access etc. for kids in the family.

    Any help on the App and notification settings within the App is what I am looking for support on.

    Hello Natalie, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app.

    Please check this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil... for information on using the app to limit times.

    If you are having trouble approving and limiting times then the best I can recommend is to try deleting and redownloading it.

    Beyond that, if there is an issue with the app then we haven't been informed and would have no information on when it may be fixed if that's the case.
