Setting time limitations for each day, which tend to range from 15 minutes to 2 hours, is one of the parental control options. The app’s screen will turn black after the user has reached the time restriction.
In addition to setting a time restriction, parents may plan breaks to assure that their child takes a break from scrolling through the app.
The new parental control tools also allow parents to see the accounts that their children have reported, as well as the justifications for doing so.
It also allows parents to send an invite to their child’s phone to enable parental control, which could previously only be done by the child.
According to the BBC, Meta is also developing a dashboard for parents that will be available on all Quest VR headsets.
Purchase approvals, app restrictions, and the ability to monitor a child’s friend lists are among the features.
It will also have a “nudge tool,” which will suggest that adolescent users search for various things if they are repeatedly looking for the same thing.
According to Arab News, some of the functions were previously released in the United States, and now it’s time for them to be released in the United Kingdom. Meta hopes to release them globally by the end of the year.
Meta’s features go a long way toward guaranteeing that such platforms do not damage teenagers.
