help Xbox Social Privacy Settings FAQ
How do I restrict who can send my child messages on Xbox?
Navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy on the console, then select 'View details & customize' to set communication permissions to 'Friends only' or 'Block.' For child accounts managed under a Microsoft Family group, the parent organizer must change these settings through the Xbox Family Settings app or the Microsoft Family Safety web portal.
Can I block voice chat and party invites on my child's Xbox account?
Yes, within the Xbox privacy settings under the Communication section, you can restrict voice chat, video communication, and party invitations to 'Friends' or 'Block.' These restrictions apply across Xbox Live, including in-game voice systems and Xbox party chat on both console and the Xbox mobile app.
How do I approve friend requests for my child's Xbox Live account?
When a child account is configured under a Microsoft Family group with appropriate privacy settings, friend requests can be set to require parental approval before being accepted. Parents receive a notification through the Xbox Family Settings app or their own Microsoft account and can approve or deny each request individually.
What is the difference between an Xbox child account and an adult account for privacy?
Child accounts created under a Microsoft Family group are subject to restrictions set by the adult organizer, who controls content ratings, screen time schedules, and social interaction permissions. Adult accounts have full self-control over all privacy and communication settings and cannot have their permissions overridden by another user.
