In the United States, Meta has announced the introduction of parental supervision tools on its social media platform, Threads. This rollout is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing parental control across Meta's applications. Starting next week, parents and guardians will gain access to a suite of features designed to help them monitor and manage their teens' activities on Threads. These features include visibility into the time spent on the app, the ability to set daily time limits, and options to manage privacy settings and content preferences. The new parental supervision tools will allow parents to see how much time their teens are spending on Threads each day, including their average daily usage over the past week. Additionally, parents can set specific time limits for app usage, ensuring that their teens do not exceed designated screen time. This feature is particularly useful for families with multiple devices, as the time limits will apply to the total time spent across all devices. Another significant aspect of the parental supervision tools is the ability to adjust sleep mode settings. Parents can limit or block access to Threads during nighttime hours, with notifications muted and auto-replies activated by default from 10 PM to 7 AM. This aims to encourage healthier online habits among teens by reducing late-night usage. Furthermore, parents will have control over who can tag their teens in posts, as well as the ability to manage their teens' privacy settings and sensitive content preferences. This comprehensive approach to parental supervision reflects Meta's commitment to providing parents with the necessary tools to support their teens' online experiences. The company plans to continue expanding these supervision tools, making it easier for parents to find controls and gain meaningful visibility into their teens' activities across Meta's apps.
