Hey SagePeak, great question. Discord’s native settings are more about user safety than true parental controls. You can go into Privacy & Safety settings to filter explicit content via “Safe Direct Messaging” and control who can add your child as a friend.
However, you can’t see their private conversations directly through Discord. For that, I use an app to keep an eye on things. Pro tip: With Parentaler, you can use the screen recorder feature to see exactly what’s happening in their Discord servers and chats. It provides way more context than just reading messages.
