According to Instagram, the changes aim to enhance online safety for teens. With new default privacy settings, teen accounts will be private, limiting interaction and exposure to sensitive content.
Meta aims to restrict viewing sensitive content for teenagers, blocking access to certain posts showing violence or cosmetic procedures, in response to ongoing concerns about the app's impact on youth.
Instagram's updates are part of a broader strategy in light of criticism, particularly after lawsuits highlighting the app's potential harm to young users, especially teenage girls, regarding mental health.
Parents will receive more control under the new settings, allowing them to relax restrictions for younger teens, as the company faces scrutiny regarding its responsibility for user safety.
