WhatsApp is developing a new feature called Secondary Accounts with parental controls that will serve as secondary accounts for children with limited access. These accounts will be linked to the parent's primary account to allow them to control privacy settings and ensure a safer and more appropriate experience for young users.
The feature is designed to give parents control over privacy, including who can message or call their child. By default, these secondary accounts only allow communication from contacts, reducing the risk of unwanted messages or calls.
In addition, these secondary accounts will share basic reports with the primary account without revealing the content of the messages as the conversations remain protected with end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp explained that this feature is still in development and will be rolled out in a future update.
