Use safety and privacy tools in worlds for teens
Updated:23 weeks ago
If you are 13-17 (age may vary by region), use these safety and privacy tools to control who you see and talk to in worlds.
- Meta Horizon profile privacy settings: You are in control of who you follow and who can follow you back. Your profile is automatically set to private, so you’re able to approve or decline anyone who requests to follow you. You can adjust your Meta Horizon profile privacy settings at any time.
- Active status settings: By default, we won’t show your active status and Worlds location to other people in Worlds. You’ll be able to choose whether your connections can see if you’re active online and which public world or event you’re in. You can adjust this setting at any time, so you are in control of how social you want to be.
- Voice channel: This setting is automatically turned on for teens. You’ll still be able to hear people you know, and they’ll be able to hear you, too. You can adjust this setting at any time.
- Personal boundary: Personal boundary allows mobile users to be close to other mobile users while maintaining space between VR users and others. For all players, including teens, personal boundary is on by default.
- Pause lets you quickly take a break from a situation or space.
- Reporting, blocking and muting help protect you from anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
- Turning off the microphone prevents anyone from hearing you in Worlds.
