Meta is introducing separate teen accounts on Instagram to enhance safety for users under 18, addressing parental concerns about content, contact, and app usage.
Teen accounts will be set to private by default, limiting contact and monitoring time spent on the platform, which were major concerns for parents.
New users under 18 signing up for Instagram will automatically get a teen account, ensuring age verification processes are in place to prevent misinformation.
Meta plans to actively locate and convert accounts that misrepresent their age, enhancing online safety for teenagers against inappropriate interactions and exposure.
