Abstract
Implementations relate to a supervised contact list for user accounts. In some implementations, a method includes determining an activity related to a particular user is pending on a device operated by a supervised user associated with a supervised account. The method includes associating the particular user with a particular user identifier, and determining whether the particular user identifier is present on a supervised contact list associated with the supervised account, where the supervised contact list comprises identifiers for one or more users. The one or more users are selected by a supervisor user. The method includes determining that the activity related to the particular user to be performed should be disallowed, based on whether the particular user identifier is present on the supervised contact list, and terminating the activity related to the particular user.
