    Parental Controls Question - How to block certain apps


    Greeting gents!

    I am attempting to setup parental controls on my Xbox One. The app restriction levels are somewhat okay, but I would like the ability to choose which apps require a passcode.

    For example, once logged in, I would like unrestricted access to netflix and plex, but require a passcode for youtube.

    Is there anyway to choose specifically which apps require a passcode?

    Thanks for your time!

    :)

    Hi there,

    Not sure if they won't see the content, but they should definately not be able to use it, when you set up parental controls

    This link explains how you can block certain content for child accounts etc:

    ^Because BAD, I don't see how parental controls can block your storage space. Parental controls are about blocking content, not memory/storage.

    Can't Access Netflix Without Entering Family Passcode Since New Update

    +1

    With the Netflix update, parental control blocks the Netflix app. Before, parental control blocked individual movies on Netflix which is how it should work.

    New feature: Message Safety (Xbox Text Filters)

    Why dont they just add this to parental controls? Parents can go and set it up to automatically block certain words on their childs acconts and also notify them when their child uses the blocked words in their messages.
