AI Summary

WhatsApp is adding parental controls for teen accounts. The new features let guardians monitor which contacts teens can interact with and set content preferences for Meta AI chats. Parents can restrict the channels teens use, limit who can view or post Status updates, and control who can add them to groups. They can also decide who sees a teen’s profile picture. These settings give guardians more oversight over a teen’s online interactions on the platform.
