Parents and guardians can create a Meta account for a child.

Create a Meta account for your child

Parents and guardians can create and manage a Meta account for a child between the ages of 10-12 (age may vary by region).

Parents and guardians will need to log in to or create their own Meta account and Meta Horizon profile before setting up a child's account in Family Centre.

To create a Meta account for your child:

Desktop

Mobile browser

Meta Horizon app

Go to Family Centre and log in to your Meta account.
Click Add family member.
Select Create an account for a child from the options available, then click Continue.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your child's account.

Manage a Meta account for your child

When you manage a Meta account for your child, you'll both use your email address and password to access your child's account. Log in using your email address and password, then choose to continue with your child's account.

Managing your child's account lets you:

Manage your child's account and privacy settings
See how much time your child spends in Meta Quest and set time limits
Manage your child's access to apps, including allowing or blocking access to apps and features
Report someone who isn't following the Code of Conduct for Virtual Experiences
Make purchases for your child
Watch their Meta Quest experience in real time

Social features for children's Meta accounts are limited.

People can manage their own Meta account from the age of 13 (age may vary by region). Teens can find information on how they can review privacy settings and learn more about safeguards in the Teen Privacy Centre.

If you're unable to manage your child's Meta account, your child can invite another parent or guardian to manage their account instead.

To manage a Meta account for your child:

Go to Family Centre and log in to your Meta account.
Below Family members, select your child's account.
Below Settings, you can select:
- Supervision settings to manage your child's access to apps and social features.
- Privacy settings to control who can see your child's profile and app activity.
- Account settings to edit your child's account information or delete their account.

You can also access supervision settings from the Meta Horizon mobile app.
