Currents for teens is mostly the same as Currents for adults. However, the default settings for teens are more conservative.
Settings for teens
The default settings described below are different for teens than adults. Teens can change many of these these settings if they want.
Only people in a teen's circles can comment on posts they share with the "Public" or "Extended circles."
Some profile information is private, including:
- Gender
- Introduction
- Links
- Home contact info
- Work contact info
- Occupation
- Employment
- Education
- Places lived
Anyone on Currents can +mention a teen, but teens can decide if they want to get a notification when this happens.
By default, teens only get notified when people in their circles mention them.
By default, people can't find a teen's profile in search results.
If teens want to prevent someone from contacting them, they can block them.
Report offensive content
If teens see content in Currents that violates the Content Policies, they can report it to Google.
