1. Family Pairing

Connect the parent and teen accounts through Settings and privacy → Family Pairing. Review the teen’s age and account visibility.

2. Content and contact

Review Restricted Mode, search, comments, mentions, direct messages and reuse of videos. Keep younger teens’ accounts private.

3. Time and wellbeing

Set a daily screen-time limit, schedule time away and review the weekly screen-time summary together.

Final check: confirm privacy, communication, account protection, content, purchases and reporting tools. Review settings again after major app or game updates.
