WhatsApp is introducing optional parental controls designed to give parents a role in managing the privacy settings of their teenager’s account.
Under the new option, parents will be able to decide which privacy settings apply to their child’s account. The controls are intended for teenage users and are not described as mandatory.
The announcement gives parents greater involvement in how their child’s account is configured, while leaving the controls optional. No further details about the specific settings or how the feature will operate were provided in the supplied material.
