Introduction of Instagram Teen Accounts
New Instagram accounts designed for teens emphasize automatic safety protections, ensuring a safer online experience. These accounts feature built-in limitations on who can contact teens and regulate the content they can access. A significant requirement is that users under 16 must obtain parental approval to modify their safety settings, fostering a family-oriented approach to social media use.
