Instagram Is Making The Platform Friendly For Teenagers, Know The Details Here
In addition, Instagram said it is testing a new way to encourage teens to update their security and privacy settings.
Meta's photo and video sharing platform Instagram has announced that it will limit sensitive content to new teen users on the platform by default. Instagram said the sensitive content controls have only two options for teens - Standard and Less . The platform said in a blog post that new teens under the age of 16 on Instagram will be defaulted to "less status". For teens already on Instagram, we'll send a prompt to encourage them to opt for the 'less' experience.
It added that this would make it more difficult for youth to see potentially sensitive content or accounts in Search, Explore, hashtag pages, reels, feed recommendations, and suggested accounts.
Instagram Settings for Teenagers

This will prompt teens to review their settings, including controlling who can re-share their content, who can message and contact them, what content they can view, and what content they can access. How can I manage my time on Instagram? The company said that we are constantly developing controls to help people personalize their experience on Instagram. Last year the company launched responsive content controls so that people can choose which accounts they do not follow. This update will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
