The app has a new whitelist feature that lets you choose to exclude games from the Parental Controls restrictions, the ability to lock the app, and changes to the bedtime alarm. But, right at the bottom, it mentions that Nintendo Switch system update 5.0.0 will be required to use some of these new features.
