Microsoft has brought location tracking and app usage monitoring to its Android Launcher. The new family tracking feature, currently available in preview, lets Microsoft Launcher users track the last known location of their family members. The launcher also includes an activity report of what apps are being used on a device and for how long, similar to Microsoft's family account feature.

 

The Android parental controls have also extended to Microsoft's Edge browser, with any blocked websites in a Microsoft family group carrying over to Edge for Android.

 

In addition, Microsoft has announced that MSN Kids, a news site for those of elementary and middle school ages, is in review. The site uses curate news and features from Microsoft partners like Time for kids, Popular Science, Sports Illustrated for kids National Geographic, and USA Today.
