Meta introduces new parental controls: Everything you need to know

Meta (formerly Facebook) has introduced new parental controls for Facebook Messenger and Instagram to enhance online safety for children using the platforms. These enhanced features are aimed at empowering parents to better monitor and supervise their children’s activities on these platforms.

What are the updated parental controls on Facebook Messenger?

The updated parental controls allow parents to keep track of the amount of time their children spend on Facebook Messenger, as well as access their contact list.

In case a child reports someone, should the child permit it, parents will receive a notification of the report.
