Parents of Instagram and Messenger teens can see what they’re asking AI.

The new supervision feature shows the topics that teens have asked Meta AI about over the last week and is available now in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Brazil. It also works on Facebook… as if teens use Facebook. It builds upon previous work to alert parents if their kids repeatedly search for self-harm topics.

<em>Parents can see the topics their teen has been asking Meta AI about in that specific app over the past week.</em>
<em>Parents can tap on a topic to see the different categories within. Categories within Health and Wellbeing, for example, include fitness, physical health, and mental health. </em>
