Meta Expands Threads Parental Supervision Across Asia-Pacific
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is rolling out parental supervision tools for Threads across Asia-Pacific, expanding its efforts to give parents greater visibility and control over how teenagers use its social-media platforms.
Through Meta’s Family Center, parents will be able to monitor how much time their teens spend on Threads, establish daily usage limits and block access during selected hours. Parents can also adjust sleep mode, control who can tag their teen and manage certain privacy and sensitive-content settings.
The new controls build on Threads’ existing Teen Accounts, which automatically provide protections including private accounts and restrictions on the content shown to younger users. For teens under 16, parents can determine whether those default protections can be relaxed.
The expansion brings Threads more closely in line with Meta’s broader parental-control framework across its apps as the company continues investing in teen safety and family-management tools.
