Instagram's Teen Accounts: Enhanced Safety Features
Instagram has introduced teen accounts designed with enhanced safety features to address concerns from parents regarding their children's online activity. Teen profiles are now set to private by default, ensuring that only approved followers can view their content. Automated contact limits will restrict messaging to individuals that users already follow, minimizing the risk of unwanted interactions such as harassment or negative DMs. By implementing automatic filters for offensive comments and DMs, Instagram aims to create a more secure environment for teenagers using the platform.
