WhatsApp has introduced a suite of optional parental controls aimed at enhancing the digital safety of younger users. These features allow parents to oversee and modify specific account settings, such as visibility and contact permissions, for their children. Crucially, the platform maintains its commitment to privacy by ensuring that parents cannot access the actual content of messages or calls, which remain protected by end-to-end encryption. The move aims to strike a balance between providing parental peace of mind and respecting the autonomy of teenagers.
