\u00bfC\u00f3mo crear una cuenta para preadolescentes en WhatsApp?<\/h2>\n

Para crear una cuenta para preadolescentes en WhatsApp es necesario descargar la versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s reciente de la aplicaci\u00f3n en el dispositivo del menor y seleccionar el idioma de preferencia.<\/p>\n

Dentro del men\u00fa \u201cM\u00e1s opciones\u201d<\/strong> (identificado con el s\u00edmbolo \u201c+\u201d), los adultos responsables deber\u00e1n elegir la alternativa \u201cCrear una cuenta administrada por un padre, madre o tutor\u201d<\/strong>. Despu\u00e9s de registrar y verificar el n\u00famero telef\u00f3nico del menor, ser\u00e1 necesario introducir la fecha de nacimiento del preadolescente para confirmar su edad.<\/p>\n

Posteriormente aparecer\u00e1 en pantalla un c\u00f3digo QR que deber\u00e1 ser escaneado con el dispositivo de una persona adulta para vincular ambas cuentas<\/a>. De forma autom\u00e1tica, el sistema generar\u00e1 un PIN de seis d\u00edgitos que deber\u00e1 ser confirmado por los padres o tutores.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp se\u00f1ala que \u201ceste PIN es necesario para acceder a los ajustes de privacidad de la cuenta del menor y realizar cambios. No debes compartirlo con tu hijo<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Configuraci\u00f3n de la cuenta y funciones restringidas<\/h2>\n

Las cuentas de WhatsApp destinadas a preadolescentes se crear\u00e1n con controles parentales y configuraciones de privacidad activadas por defecto. Estas incluyen limitaciones para diversas funciones, la participaci\u00f3n en grupos y la posibilidad de comunicarse con otros usuarios.<\/p>\n

De manera predeterminada, estos perfiles solo permitir\u00e1n que los menores interact\u00faen con contactos previamente guardados en su agenda<\/strong>. Asimismo, la fotograf\u00eda, la descripci\u00f3n del perfil y la hora de la \u00faltima conexi\u00f3n \u00fanicamente ser\u00e1n visibles para las personas registradas en la lista de contactos del menor.<\/p>\n

Los adultos responsables tambi\u00e9n podr\u00e1n decidir en qu\u00e9 grupos puede participar el usuario menor de edad, quien adem\u00e1s no tendr\u00e1 la posibilidad de crear conversaciones grupales<\/a> por su cuenta. WhatsApp precisa que \u201clos mensajes y las invitaciones a grupos de contactos desconocidos se enviar\u00e1n a una carpeta de solicitudes para que los adultos a cargo los aprueben\u201d.<\/p>\n

Estas configuraciones se aplicar\u00e1n de forma autom\u00e1tica al momento de crear la cuenta, aunque los adultos podr\u00e1n modificarlas en cualquier momento mediante el uso del PIN de seguridad.<\/p>\n
