Hi folks!
Please help me to clarify some things related to Screen Time API.
- What the keys differences between
individual
andchild
authorization? Withindividual
type of auth user can do sign-out from iCloud and delete the app. What else differentiate this type of users? - Can we use
DeviceActivityEvent
for remote control withindividual
auth? - Can the parental or guardian see/get the statistic of apps usage?
- Is the
individual
auth available to all users or just those who are in the Apple's family?
I'll really appreciate any help and answer! Thank you in advance!
- In order to successfully request a
child
authorization, the device must be signed into a child's iCloud account and the authorization must be approved by a parent/guardian in the child's iCloud family. Theindividual
authorization is done via Face ID or Touch ID.child
authorizations additionally allow your app to use a custom network extension filter and also result in DeviceActivity data being shared with the child's parent/guardian(s). - Yes.
- Yes, if that parent's child has a device where your app has been authorized by FamilyControls. You can create a
DeviceActivity
report extension and use a filter for.children
on the parent's device. - The
individual
authorization is available for all users.
