Xbox Unleashes More New Family Settings July 13, 2021 With mictrotransactions and an increasing focus on addictive qualities, younger players might need some light supervision when playing their favorite games. The Xbox Family Settings mobile app on iOS and Android that came in 2020 gives parents or guardians a closer look at what people on the family account are doing and now it has a few more features like purchase approval, spending limits, and “Ask to Buy.” The “Ask to Buy” feature is exactly what it sounds like. The parent or guardian can get a notification on their app every time the child wants to buy something they don’t have the money for. They can add money to the account or just deny it outright. Spending limits and adding money directly to the child’s account goes with this new feature. These spending limits and the ability to add money seem to make it possible to add a decent bit of money to the account and slowly dole it out when necessary or earned.
