Introduction of Teen Accounts by Instagram
Instagram has launched teen accounts designed specifically for users aged 13 to 17, incorporating automatic safety features and content controls. These accounts limit who can contact teens and control the visibility of their content, ensuring a safer social media experience. Additionally, parental consent is required for any alterations to these settings for users under the age of 16. This initiative aims to address parental concerns about teen interactions and content exposure on the platform.
