Meta is introducing new “teen accounts” on Instagram for users under 18 to enhance parental control over their activities. This change will apply to new users and gradually extend to existing accounts. Parents will have the ability to set daily usage limits, block access at certain times, and monitor messaging interactions. Teenagers under 16 will need parental permission to change privacy settings, while those aged 16 and 17 can adjust settings independently. Default privacy features include restricted messaging and muted notifications at night.
