Nowadays, smartphones reach everyone's hands at a very young age due to the need for education. Naturally, social media also falls within their reach. And it goes without saying that the growth of the net world affects the child's mind. Zuckerberg's WhatsApp brought a new feature to solve that problem. This time the WhatsApp rush of minors will be in the hands of parents.
What did the company say? On this day, the company said, “Today we are launching 'Parental Control' or parental control system for teenagers. It will provide multiple optional tools, which parents and teenagers can set up jointly. Through this, parents can choose the appropriate features for the child.” Reportedly, it is designed in such a way that parents can give necessary instructions to children without reading their private chats.
It is known that in this feature parents can decide who can see their child's profile picture and who can't. Who can add them to different groups. If someone tries to change any feature without notifying parents, it won't be able to. In this case, the PIN assigned by the guardian will be required. It is known that through WhatsApp, parents will also be able to know the group-related activities of their minor children. WhatsApp will notify parents when a child joins or leaves a group. Also, parents will get a warning or alert even if the number of members of the group to which the child is a member increases significantly.
