Sharing and App Store
For parents and families, sharing just got a lot easier. Apple will let families more easily share albums, multimedia and information about their purchases, a direct response to the criticism that Apple makes it too easy for kids to make purchases behind their parents' backs.
The new sharing feature includes an option that lets parents set a requirement that kids ask for permission before they make a purchase on the App Store,
"Parents can now share appropriate content among family members," said Jonathan Godfrey, president of the Association for Competitive Technology, an app developers trade group. "Using the Ask to Buy feature, parents can ensure children get their permission first before downloading free or paid content," he said.
