Hi there!

In my previous question I received the answer that we can use DeviceActivityEvent for remote control with .individual auth.

Here I'd like to clarify:

Is there any restrictions to use remote control for .individual if we compare it with .child?
Is it possible to add/set/update restrictions remotely with DeviceActivityEvent API for .individual?

Thank you!

DeviceActivity monitoring works the same for both individuals and children.
It is your app's responsibility to sync those restrictions between devices and users. In order for your monitor extension to get callbacks for an event on a particular device, your app must call startMonitoring locally on that device.
