Instagram's Teen Accounts and Safety Features

Instagram has introduced specific protections for teenage users, aimed at controlling who can contact them and the type of content they can access. These automatic safeguards are part of an ongoing effort to create a safer online environment for minors. For example, the platform will limit interactions from adults not known to the teens, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted or harmful contacts. This move reflects a broader commitment by social media platforms to enhance child safety and address concerns surrounding the mental health of young users.
