Illustration by Nick Barclay / The Verge Meta is launching a suite of new parental controls for both Instagram and Messenger, the company announced on Tuesday. The new tools give parents the ability to see how much time their child is spending on Messenger, as well as gain more insight into how well their teen really knows the people they're following on Instagram (and who follows them).
The company says parents and guardians can now check into their child's Messenger contacts list, along with their privacy and safety settings from the Meta Family Center. Parents will also get notified if their child reports someone on the app - so long as their teen enabled that setting, in addition to seeing who can and can't message them.
