News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a parent, I can understand your problem very well. In today’s era, giving smartphones in the hands of children is both a compulsion and a reason for fear. The biggest fear is that with whom is the child connected on WhatsApp? Is he in contact with any wrong person? Or is someone harassing him online?
If you are also struggling with these questions, then there is a very big and relieving news for you. World’s largest chatting app WhatsApp Now it is preparing to give a ‘superpower’ to the parents.
What is this new change?
The news is that WhatsApp is working on a special feature which you can explain in easy language. ‘Parental Control’ Can say. Meta, which is WhatsApp’s parent company, already offers this feature on Instagram, and now it is being brought to WhatsApp.
How will this feature work?
According to the information that has come out so far, this feature will ‘link’ the accounts of parents and children in a way. This doesn’t mean you’ll be able to read your child’s personal messages (since chats on WhatsApp are encrypted), but you will be able to control:
- Who can your child talk to?
- What are his privacy settings (like who can see his DP or status)?
- And maybe also whether he is reporting or blocking someone.
Why is this important?
If we think honestly, frauds and scams have increased a lot in the internet world. Many times children unknowingly join groups of unknown people or share their personal information. This new feature will act as a ‘digital security guard’ for children. This will provide space to the children and also reassure the parents that “everything is fine”.
When will it come?
At present this feature is in the ‘testing’ phase, that is, it is being tested. But with the speed with which WhatsApp is bringing new updates, it is expected that very soon this feature will come to our and your phones.
So just wait a little more… your worries about children are going to reduce a little! This is a great use of technology, isn’t it?
