Discord is a fantastic platform for enjoying communication with friends and communities, but especially for minor users, consideration for safe usage is essential. That’s where the “Family Center” comes in. This article will explain in detail the functions, setup methods, and frequently asked questions of the Family Center, supporting parents in monitoring their children’s Discord usage with peace of mind.
What is the Family Center?
The Family Center is an optional feature that allows parents to check the Discord usage of their minor children. Specifically, it enables parents to see information such as the friends their children have recently added, the users they have messaged or called, and the servers they are participating in.
