The Xbox Family App looks set to be a blessing for parents, who might need more help when it comes to managing a child’s overall screen time.
More so, parents can also set play limits and age restrictions, and even manage who they’re able to connect with. That means if your kid receives a friend request, you can check it first to ensure that, they really are a friend, or block them entirely.

Differences Between the Xbox X and Xbox S
Although both consoles were released on the same day which was November 10, 2020, they are not exactly the same, just like we have twin babies, born on same day but being very different people with different personalities. So, these are the differences between the Xbox Series X and S.
1.Microsoft(its manufacturer) says that Series X is targeting running games at 60fps at a full 4K resolution, while the Series S instead targets a lower 1440p resolution at 60fps.
2.The Series X has a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, while the Series S is digital-only, so you’ll have to download your games rather than buy them on disc.
3. The disc-based X also has double the amount of internal storage with 1TB as opposed to 512GB. Apparently, the storage in the Series S will fill up quickly as a result.
4. The Series X also has more RAM at 16GB compared to 10GB in the Series S, and physically, the Series S is also a lot smaller than the Series X; Microsoft calls the console its “smallest Xbox ever.” Despite the size differences, we’ve found both consoles have good cooling systems and are run cool and quiet when in use.
