Instagram launches "Teen Accounts" for users under 18, adding privacy and parental controls.

Instagram has launched "Teen Accounts" for users under 18, enhancing privacy and parental controls. These accounts will be private by default, limiting interactions to known contacts and restricting sensitive content. Parents can monitor their children's activity, set time limits, and manage privacy settings, which require parental consent for users under 16. The updates aim to address concerns about social media's impact on youth, rolling out in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia within 60 days.
