If your child uses WhatsApp

The default setting in WhatsApp allows anyone to add a number to a group chat without needing permission. Some groups use this method to share extremely disturbing content.

To disable this, got To WhatsApp and follow these steps:

Go to settings

  • Privacy
  • Groups
  • Under ‘who can add me to groups’ select ‘My Contacts’

Manage time on apps (not just facetime as suggested in the title!)
