Summary
- New features allow parents to monitor teen app usage.
- Parents can set time limits and sleep schedules.
- Tools offer controls for content and privacy settings.
Social media platform Threads is set to enhance its safety features with the upcoming rollout of Parental Supervision tools. These new functionalities are designed to empower parents and guardians to better monitor and manage their teenagers' experiences on the app.
The Parental Supervision features, beginning their rollout next week, will offer detailed insights into a teen's app usage duration. Guardians will gain the ability to implement customized time limits and schedule 'sleep mode' hours to encourage healthy digital habits.
Furthermore, the updated controls will allow parents to restrict specific content tags and configure various privacy and content settings for teen accounts. These additions aim to work alongside existing built-in restrictions for all adolescent users on Threads.
