Social media network Threads is adding new features for parents and guardians to oversee their teenagers' behavior on the platform. Parental Supervision gives insights into time a teen spends in the app, as well as controls for setting time limits and sleep mode hours. It also allows guardians to place restrictions on what tags a teen can see and enact other limits for both privacy and content settings.
