Meta is launching new AI parental controls for teens on Instagram in early 2026, limiting AI interactions while facing skepticism over true safety.
Meta is rolling out new parental controls for teens’ AI interactions on Instagram and other platforms starting early next year, allowing parents to block specific AI characters or disable one-on-one chats entirely while keeping a general AI assistant available with default age-appropriate safeguards.
Parents will receive high-level insights into their teens’ AI use without access to full chat histories.
The changes follow growing concerns over AI’s impact on youth mental health, including lawsuits alleging AI interactions contributed to teen suicides, and coincide with a shift to PG-13 content defaults on teen Instagram accounts, requiring parental approval to adjust.
Despite Meta’s safety framing, child advocacy groups remain skeptical, suggesting the updates are more about avoiding regulation than ensuring real protection.
