It&#8217;s available on both Android and iOS.<\/p>\n<p>The main draw here is the ability to manage your child&#8217;s \u2014 or children&#8217;s \u2014 usage of the PS5. The app includes restrictions and filters that you can apply to your console, and you&#8217;ll even get real-time notifications.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, companies like Sony have to take things like parental controls very seriously. The PS5 already has parental options that you can adjust through the console&#8217;s settings, but this app should give parents a more convenient \u2014 and potentially effective \u2014 way of handling things.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick breakdown of what the app offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guided setup for creating a child account on PlayStation<\/li>\n<li>Real-time notifications through the app<\/li>\n<li>Daily and weekly activity reports<\/li>\n<li>Settings for playtime limitations<\/li>\n<li>Settings to prevent access to specific games<\/li>\n<li>Settings for spending limitations<\/li>\n<li>Settings for social aspects and privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you ever use parental controls for your kids?
