The update for iPhone and iPad includes new Parental Controls features including Communication Limits in Screen Time. This lets you limit who and when and whom you’re kids can talk, text, and FaceTime with during certain hours.

There is also a simple way to like or dislike a story with a tap. There’s also an update to the Stocks app where stories form Apple News are now available in Canada in English or French.

As well as the ability to use FIDO2-compliant USB-C, NFC, and Lightning physical security devices with Apple’s Safari browser.
