WhatsApp Introduces New Parental Control Feature for iPhone Users

WhatsApp has started rolling out a new parental controls section for iPhone users, giving parents more control over their children’s accounts and online activity.

The new feature allows parents or guardians to decide who can contact their children and which groups they can join on WhatsApp.

Parents will also be able to limit their children’s access to certain features, including Channels and Status.

The new parental controls will provide parents with information about some account activities, helping them understand how their children are using WhatsApp.

Parents will be able to view information about new contacts and blocked users. They can also receive information about changes made to the child’s profile.

The feature is designed to give parents more control while helping create a safer digital environment for children using WhatsApp.

WhatsApp had previously introduced a separate parental controls section for Android users. The company is now beginning to make the feature available to iPhone users as well.

The rollout is being carried out gradually, so the new parental controls may not be available to all iPhone users immediately.
