The “My Family” section is a convenient opportunity to control the actions of children and adolescents who own any Windows Phone models. It performs the function of parental supervision of devices included in one group, and also offers a number of other useful features for all its members. How to configure the “My Family” section on Windows Phone - let's find out below.
How to configure the section My family from the parent's account
Microsoft products are well aware of how closely the company relates to the safety of its customers. For similar goals on gadgets with Windows Phone 8, the “My Family” section appeared, which allows to protect minor members of the group from the excessive influence of the World Wide Web. This article will also be useful to those who accidentally chose the age of less than 18 years when creating an account, and now cannot download applications from Microsoft Store. To configure the user's rights properly:
- we go to the site windowsphone.com;
- we open the section “My family”;
- we enter the system of login and passwords of the parent’s account (even if adults do not have a Windows Phone smartphone, they can still control the settings on the devices included in the group - for this you just need to go to the Microsoft website and register the appropriate account);
- we click on the point “Start of work”, in the second window we select “Add a child”;
- we collect the username and password from the desired account, after which it successfully joins the “my family”;
- next, we indicate which programs are allowed to download from under the account of the child;
- to do this, open “Family Security Settings” (are on the main page);
- here we choose a children's account and click the “Review” tab;
- among the many proposed options, we choose which specific applications will be available for viewing and receiving, indicate their rating, allow or prohibit paid content, establish the permissible frequency of appeals to the store, send the parent a report on the activity activity of pages;
- for example, in order to prohibit downloading games with non -normative vocabulary or other “adult” content, we go into the “Games Restrictions” subsection, choosing “lists of games”;
- we move the slider from the state turned off to the on;
- the second pointer is set in front of the rating with permissible age (we look at the attached image).
How to configure the section My family to download games for Xbox
Since Microsoft supports the work of many related services, you also need to configure the child’s account to download the console games:
- we go to Xbox.com;
- we authorize with the “children's” account;
- click the “I accept” button under the rules of interaction with the service;
- enter the data of the parent’s account, confirm by click on “Next”;
- a page appears indicating the “account” of the adult, we accept it again;
- the service shows us a page with all the settings for the children's account, after which we press the “General” button;
- a page with a greeting will appear on which we just click on “OK”.
- the profile from the Xbox Live is ready.
If there is no access to the parent’s account for a good reason, you can create a new one, indicate the existing account under the guise of “children's” and freely change its settings through “my family”.
