WhatsApp is bringing its dedicated parental controls section to the iPhone, making the feature easier for parents to find and set up. Here are the details.
WhatsApp makes it easier to set up parent-managed accounts
Last March, WhatsApp launched parent-managed accounts, which allow a parent or guardian in select regions to decide who can contact the managed account and which groups the account can join.
Parent-managed accounts restrict access to features such as Channels and Status, while giving parents visibility into certain account activity and changes, including new contacts, blocked users, and profile updates.
As WhatsApp explained at the time, “parental controls and settings are gated by a parent PIN on the managed device,” adding that “only parents can access and change privacy settings, ensuring they are empowered to tailor their family’s experience.”
