ChatGPT parental controls explained
ChatGPT parental controls help families manage access and settings on an adult product — they do not give you a full parent transcript feed. If you need to see chats, set topic limits, and get alerts for ages 8–18, use parent-created HeyOtto. Otto is an assistant, not a companion. Controls pillar: /ai-for-kids-parental-controls.
