Rather than the Wind Down style which grays from the display, Focus Mode enables you to pick specific apps which you wish to avoid using through a time period and just disable these. Families are also able to shortly link accounts between kids and parents, so parents may place those program limits to learn what apps their children are spending the most time on.
