Social networks monitoring

Social networks monitoring allows you to view copies of all posts from the child's timeline and get information on the child's number of friends on Facebook and VK social networks. A significant change in the number of friends can help quickly identify problems with friends or hacking of the account. Information about social network activity is displayed in the Reports and the Summary subsections of My Kaspersky account. Also, you will be notified by your application about the changes in your child's social network accounts if such notifications are on.

To monitor a child's social network activity, you need to connect a social network account to the child's Kaspersky Safe Kids profile.

Information about the child's social network activity is updated no more than once a day.
