WhatsApp's New Feature for Parental Control Over Young Users

Meta-owned WhatsApp introduces parent-managed accounts for children under 13, allowing messaging and calling with parental consent.
Parents set up accounts via QR code and six-digit PIN, managing contacts and privacy with end-to-end encryption.
Feature rolls out in select countries, with accounts linked until age 13, extendable by 12 months.
Experts note the move could set a precedent due to WhatsApp's 3 billion users.
