Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for dynamically providing a activity dashboard for display within a graphical user interface. In particular, the disclosed systems can intelligently display, within the activity dashboard, insights of digital activity within an application of a child account. For example, the disclosed systems can monitor digital activity associated with recent contacts and groups, contact updates, and digital media items exchanged in messaging chat threads. In turn, the disclosed system can selectively surface one or more portions (and/or indications) of the monitored digital activity in the activity dashboard along with corresponding actionable options available for user selection. In response to user interaction with the actionable options corresponding to the selectively surfaced digital activity, the disclosed systems can intuitively modify the child account to regulate viewable content and digital communications with third-party child accounts.

Claims (39)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:

generate a dependent messaging account associated with a dependent client device, the dependent messaging account linked to a managing account corresponding to a managing client device;

monitor digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the digital activity comprising digital communications between the dependent messaging account and an additional messaging account, wherein the digital communications comprise at least one of digital text-based messages, digital videos, or digital images; and

provide, for display within a user interface of the managing client device, an activity dashboard for regulating digital content for the dependent messaging account based on the digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the activity dashboard comprising a digital communications field for displaying one or more indicators of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to generate the dependent messaging account by identifying a user account within a digital communication system that has digital content privileges set by the managing account.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to monitor the digital activity of the dependent messaging account by detecting digital game information received by the dependent messaging account or sent from the dependent messaging account.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to provide the activity dashboard for display within the user interface of the managing client device;

a first count of a number of digital text-based messages exchanged between the dependent messaging account and additional messaging accounts; and

a second count of a number of digital videos exchanged between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:

determine a count of a number of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account; and

generate, for display within the activity dashboard on the managing client device, a digital activity indicator notifying the managing account of the count of the number of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to modify digital content received by the dependent messaging account based on an indication from the managing account.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to modify contact control privileges for a digital contact associated with the dependent messaging account based on an indication from the managing account.

8. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

generate a dependent messaging account associated with a dependent client device, the dependent messaging account linked to a managing account corresponding to a managing client device;

monitor digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the digital activity comprising digital communications between the dependent messaging account and an additional messaging account, wherein the digital communications comprise at least one of digital text-based messages, digital videos, or digital images; and

provide, for display within a user interface of the managing client device, an activity dashboard for regulating digital content for the dependent messaging account based on the digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the activity dashboard comprising a digital communications field for displaying one or more indicators of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and additional messaging account.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to generate the dependent messaging account by identifying a user account within a digital communication system that has digital content privileges set by the managing account.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to monitor the digital activity of the dependent messaging account by detecting digital game information received by the dependent messaging account or sent from the dependent messaging account.

11. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to provide the activity dashboard for display within the user interface of the managing client device by providing a first set of selectable options for modifying digital content associated with the dependent messaging account and a second set of selectable options for modifying digital contacts associated with the dependent messaging account.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

determine a count of a number of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account; and

generate, for display within the activity dashboard on the managing client device, a digital activity indicator notifying the managing account of the count of the number of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to modify digital content received by the dependent messaging account based on an indication from the managing account.

14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to modify contact control privileges for a digital contact associated with the dependent messaging account based on an indication from the managing account.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating a dependent messaging account associated with a dependent client device, the dependent messaging account linked to a managing account corresponding to a managing client device;

monitoring digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the digital activity comprising digital communications between the dependent messaging account and an additional messaging account, wherein the digital communications comprise at least one of digital text-based messages, digital videos, or digital images; and

providing, for display within a user interface of the managing client device, an activity dashboard for regulating digital content for the dependent messaging account based on the digital activity of the dependent messaging account, the activity dashboard comprising a digital communications field for displaying one or more indicators of the digital communications between the dependent messaging account and the additional messaging account.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising generating the dependent messaging account by identifying a user account within a digital communication system that has digital content privileges set by the managing account.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising monitoring the digital activity of the dependent messaging account by detecting digital game information received by the dependent messaging account or sent from the dependent messaging account.
