Attention Parents! Google Messages, the favorite messaging app for many Android users, is getting ready for a brand new feature: parental controls. Having such a feature will guarantee that your child cannot send inappropriate messages through the elements present in the app.

Imagine this: asking for permission to send a message instead of immediately activating every time a text may be enough. This is the effect that these upcoming systems produce. To ensure unauthorized messages don’t go through, it will display a message to your child asking for your permission before clicking send.

Furthermore, operational details are still unknown, but they will likely filter contact-to-contact flows. Of course, you should have the right to adjust these controls as needed, which means you’ll essentially do so through your already reliable Family Link app, a widely recognized digital life monitoring tool. Is. bonus points? The application of this feature is indifferent to standard SMS as well as RCS messaging format.

This is just the first step, however, it is encouraging and a major win in helping parents actively direct their children’s online interactions. The upcoming version of this remarkable security function will soon be available to everyone as Google continues to improve this newly added feature of Messages.
