With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.
New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.
Important characteristics of teen accounts
Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.
Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.
Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.
Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.
Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.
Extra protection
Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.
Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.
