Safer Instagram Experience for Teens

New Instagram teen accounts are designed to enhance safety for younger users. These accounts feature automatic protections that limit who can contact teens and filter the content they can view. This initiative parallels common safety measures in everyday life, such as ensuring children wear seatbelts and protective gear while biking.
