As part of our ongoing commitment to providing parents with helpful tools to support their teens across Meta’s apps, we’re bringing parental supervision to Threads. Starting next week in the US, parents and guardians in Family Center will have visibility and controls on Threads, as they do across our other apps.
Teen Accounts on Threads have automatic, built-in protections like private accounts and limits on the content teens see. Beginning next week, parents can decide if teens under 16 can change any of these settings to be less strict, and will have access to new insights and controls.

See time spent: View how much time their teen has spent on Threads each day for the past week, including their average daily time spent for the week.
