Meta-owned social media platform Instagram has announced it will be rolling out “Teen Accounts” in India. Designed to create a more secure and age-appropriate online experience for those under 16, the company says the new feature is aimed at “strengthening protections, enhancing content controls, and empowering parents.”
In a blog post, Meta said Instagram Teen Accounts addresses key concerns like who their teens interact with online, keeping a tab on what type of content they consume and how much time they spend. These safeguards are automatically enabled by default and cannot be changed without parental consent.
