California (Web Desk) — Messaging app WhatsApp has started introducing a separate parental controls section for iPhone users, making it easier for parents to monitor children’s accounts and impose various restrictions.
Parents or guardians will be able to set, for supervised child accounts, who can contact the child and which groups the child can join. Access to certain features, including Channels and Status, can also be restricted.
Under the new system, parents will also have access to information about certain account activities, including newly added contacts, blocked users, and changes made to the profile.
