Nine months after lawmakers grilled social networks for exposing children to harm, Meta Platforms has announced that Instagram’s teen accounts will be set to “private” by default. Instagram Teen Accounts have built-in protections, limiting who can contact the underage account holders as well as the content they see. “We’ll automatically place teens into Teen Accounts, and teens under 16 will need a parent’s permission to change any of these settings to be less strict,” Meta revealed in a blog post. To avoid leaving teens feeling their wings were clipped, Meta says there will also be new features designed expressly for them.

“Instagram is also rolling out new updates to its parental supervision feature that allows parents to monitor their child’s activity on the social network,” TechCrunch writes, adding that Instagram already had certain protections in place for teens, who could opt out of the restrictions if their accounts weren’t supervised.

The new Instagram policy also includes Messaging restrictions. Teen contact will be limited to those who are being followed or are already connected, Meta explained in announcing the new approach.

Teens will have Instagram time-limit reminders with prompts advising them to leave the app after 60 minutes of engagement. Also, sleep mode will automatically turn on between 10:00 p.m and 7:00 a.m. each day, with notifications muted during that time and auto replies going out to DMs.

“This really standardizes a lot of the work that we’ve done, simplifies it, and brings it to all teens,” said Antigone Davis, Meta’s global head of safety, as reported by The Verge, which says “Instagram will continue limiting the types of content teens see on Reels or on the Explore page.”

Parental controls are also being strengthened, showing who their child has messaged (without showing the message content) and which topics were viewed most often.

The New York Times calls Meta’s move “one of the most far-reaching set of measures undertaken by an app to address teenagers’ use of social media, as scrutiny over young people’s experiences online has ramped up.”
