Parents would now be able to indicate the circumstances kids aren't permitted on either as a one-time limitation or something repeating, for example, after 9 p.m. each weeknight. While the application is in rest mode, children will get a message when they open it revealing to them thus, and they won't have the capacity to utilize it.
