Introducing Time Allowances
Apple's Time Allowances in iOS 27 let parents manage kids' app time by category, with new social media age-rating requirements.
Apple introduced Time Allowances, a parental-control feature categorizing apps (Entertainment, Games, Social Media) with new developer requirements to declare social media capabilities and apply 13+ age ratings starting mid-2026. This is a child-safety and App Store governance change with no meaningful AI signal, making it low-relevance for an AI conference intelligence newsletter.
