Filter and block inappropriate content on the web across Windows 10, Xbox, and Android devices with Family Safety.
When web and search filters are turned on, make sure your family member is signed into Microsoft Edge on their device. We will block other commonly used browsers so your family member can’t access blocked and inappropriate websites. You can unblock browsers in Content filters, but web and search features may not work properly.
Note: For web and search features to work, you'll need to have the Microsoft Edge browser downloaded on their device. They will also need to be signed into Microsoft Edge with their Microsoft (MSA) account.
