How Can Parental Controls Be Set Up in Discord?

[Mr.Abomination]

I can see my little brother using Discord at an abnormal rate. I need to set some boundaries with parental controls.

Discord doesn’t have strict “parental controls,” but you can manage safety through settings. Go to User Settings → Privacy & Safety and turn on options like filtering explicit content, blocking direct messages from strangers, and controlling who can add your child as a friend. You can also adjust server settings or use third-party parental control apps to monitor overall usage.

Parental controls in Discord can be set up by enabling Privacy & Safety settings, restricting direct messages, blocking explicit content, managing friend requests, and using the Family Center to monitor activity.

To set up parental controls in Discord:

1. Enable "Safe Direct Messaging" (auto-scans explicit content).
2. Restrict server joins (disable "Allow Direct Messages from server members").
3. Use privacy settings (limit friend requests to "Friends of Friends").
4. Monitor activity via shared accounts or third-party tools like Bark.
