How To Set Parental Controls on Social Media Apps?

[Oliver Queen]

Kids are in the house. I need to fortify my phone, so help me please. Give me the parental controls for every social media that a kid can use.

To set parental controls on social media apps:

1. Enable built-in tools (e.g., Instagram’s "Supervision," TikTok’s "Family Pairing").
2. Restrict privacy settings (limit posts to "Friends Only").
3. Filter content (block mature/keywords).
4. Set screen time limits (via iOS/Android settings).
5. Use third-party apps (Bark, Qustodio) for monitoring.

Use the parental tools in-app (Instagram Family Center, TikTok Family Pairing, YouTube Supervised).

Or implement device-level tools: Apple Screen Time (iPhone / iPad) or Google Family Link (Android).
