**Toronto, Canada** – Meta has announced the launch of new Instagram Teen Accounts, aimed at providing a safer and more controlled experience for younger users. These accounts, which automatically apply to teens using the platform, come equipped with enhanced safety features designed to limit contact with strangers and curate positive content.
Teen Accounts feature built-in protections that restrict who can contact teens and what content they see. They also offer teens greater control over their Explore feed and recommendations, allowing them to focus on fun and positive content.
Teens under 16 who wish to adjust these settings to be less restrictive will need parental supervision on Instagram. Parents can then approve or deny their teen’s setting change requests.
Meta emphasizes that these measures are designed to protect teens while fostering a positive and engaging experience. More information about these and other features can be found on Meta’s website.
