Social Media Safety Settings

Social media safety settings can help families review privacy, contact and account controls. Choose a platform below to open its CODA guide. For parents, these guides also provide a starting point for discussing what children share and who can contact them.

Social Media Guides

Select a linked app name or image to open its guide. Additional apps are included as we prepare their guides. However, settings cannot guarantee safety, and access to controls does not mean a platform is suitable for every child.

Before You Start

Check the platform’s account age requirements and the options available on your child’s device. Next, review the controls together and agree how your child will seek help if something feels wrong. The individual guides explain each platform in more detail.
