Meta, which is under a huge amount of pressure over kids’ safety on its platforms, has announced new parental controls for Instagram and Messenger—while also extending an anti-addictive feature for Facebook.
Parents and guardians in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada can now check their teenagers’ privacy and safety settings in Messenger, view their contact lists and get updates when someone is added or deleted, and see who’s messaging them. They also get to see how much time their kids are spending on the messaging platform, though they still can’t read their messages.
