Meta Rolls Out 'Teen Accounts' on Instagram to Address Child Safety Concerns, Giving Parents More Control

Meta has announced a new privacy-focused feature for Instagram, rolling out “teen accounts” to enhance child safety on the platform. All users under 18 will be automatically placed in private accounts, which can only be contacted by people they follow. This effort addresses growing concerns over teen safety on social media. The new accounts will also have restrictive content settings and parental supervision tools.
