keep them a little safer online. Open their
app and tap their profile pic.

child on Facebook Messenger, assuming
they’ve already blocked someone.

block them on both Facebook and/or
Messenger, right there from the Messenger app.

bad influence on your child.

Tap the Active Status option, and you
can switch this feature on and off. If
you don’t want everyone to know when your
child is online with Facebook and Messenger,
keep it turned off.

want to check is Story. This sets who
can see a Story uploaded by your child. If
you’re concerned too many people can see
it, customise the settings.
