After adding the Family Safety section to the new Edge browser on desktop, Microsoft is now rolling out Family Safety features to the Edge browser on Android.
Back in February, Microsoft has added Tracking Prevention, Contextual Search and favorites and passwords syncing to Edge on Android, recently the company pushed an update to Edge Android version that allows parents to monitor their kids’ web activity, block certain websites and apps and set screen limits and access other family safety features when they sign into Edge with their Microsoft Family Account.
Updating Edge by visiting Play Store and checking “about this app” in Settings not only tells you Edge App version info but also reveals whether all family Safety features are rolled out to your device or not.
