What is the name of Discord's parental control feature launched in 2023?

The story behind the answer

Discord’s parental-control feature launched in 2023 is called Family Center.

Family Center is an optional tool designed to help parents and guardians stay informed about how their teenagers use Discord. After a teen and guardian complete the connection process, the guardian can view selected activity information through an in-app dashboard and weekly email summaries.

The feature was introduced in 2023 as part of Discord’s broader teen-safety efforts. It can show information such as recently joined servers and newly added friends, while keeping the content of private messages hidden. Discord describes this balance as a way to support conversations about online safety without giving guardians unrestricted access to a teen’s conversations.

Family Center is not the same as Kids Mode or a general account lock. It is opt-in, requires cooperation from the teen, and is intended for families to use together. Discord has continued expanding its safety tools, but Family Center remains the official name of this family-supervision feature.
