This app has the ability to control changes, set limits on usage and find games their kids are playing. Microsoft has also made some changes to the parental controls that are available on the XBOX One itself. The company has added a new feature called “Game Mode,” which is designed to keep kids from playing games that could be too violent or graphic for them. Parents can also disable sharing of screenshots from games or videos from movies while they’re playing.
