"Google Messages to Introduce Enhanced Parental Controls"

Google Messages is reportedly adding parental controls that will allow parents to block their child from sending messages until they're approved. This feature, uncovered in a recent version of the app, is likely to work on a per-contact basis and may be controlled through Google's Family Link app. It is expected to cover both SMS and RCS messages, but the specifics of its functionality are still unclear as it is in the early stages of development.
