Popular messaging platform WhatsApp is preparing to launch a new feature aimed at children's online safety. WhatsApp is considering adding a feature called "Parent Managed Accounts" soon. This feature aims to make WhatsApp safer for children.

According to reports, this system is being designed specifically for children under the age of 13. Under this system, children's WhatsApp accounts will be linked to their parents' accounts, allowing parents to monitor their WhatsApp activities.

Parents will decide who their children communicate with.
With the introduction of this new feature, parents will gain a variety of controls. They will be able to decide who can send messages to their child, who can be added to their contact list, and which groups they can be added to. This aims to ensure that children can message in a safe environment and avoid contact with strangers.

These features will not be available on children's accounts.
This WhatsApp system will also impose certain restrictions on children's accounts. According to reports, children will not be allowed to use some of the app's advanced features. These will not include status updates, channels, and features related to Meta AI.

Suspicious messages will also be controlled.
This new system may also include additional security features. According to reports, if a message comes from an unknown or suspicious person, it will be sent to a separate folder. Parents will be able to view these messages and block the person if necessary.

Why is such a feature necessary?
These days, even young children are increasingly using smartphones and the internet. As a result, their online safety is becoming a major concern.
This move by WhatsApp is an attempt to reassure parents that their children are using the app safely.
According to reports, the company will gradually roll out this feature, and it may be made available in different countries in the coming months.
