Pinterest is implementing new prompts to alert teenage users (13-17 years) about using the app during school hours, paralleling Instagram's efforts to enhance age detection. This initiative will impact millions across the US and Canada and aims to promote a positive environment for youth. Additionally, Pinterest is collaborating with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) to develop "Digital Innovation Wellbeing Task Forces" in 12 school districts, focusing on teaching digital citizenship instead of merely limiting tech access, a priority lacking attention in many schools.
Pinterest is taking another step in a similar direction, by adding new prompts that will warn teen users (aged 13 to 17) about opening the app during typical school hours.
Only 36% say it is actually being prioritized, according to data from ISTE+ASCD. I mean, Pinterest's own new in-app prompts would also fall under 'device management,' but the concept here is that Pinterest will work with ISTE on new programs to develop better online and device usage habits.
