Meta-owned WhatsApp has introduced a new parent-managed account system for children under 13 to ensure safer messaging experiences. The feature allows parents or guardians to create and control accounts for their children with strict default privacy settings.
Parents will be able to decide who can contact the child, approve group participation and review message requests from unknown contacts. The move comes amid growing global concerns over the impact of social media and messaging apps on young users.
The feature aims to give children a supervised introduction to messaging while allowing parents to manage privacy and safety settings directly.
