Instagram Introduces Major Privacy Overhaul for Teens Amid Rising Safety Concerns




Instagram unveiled new privacy and safety measures for users under 18, defaulting accounts to private and limiting notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The changes aim to address concerns over teens' exposure to inappropriate content and contact. Parents will now have more supervision tools, including the ability to see accounts their child has recently messaged. 


These updates are part of Instagram's broader initiative to protect minors, following criticism over social media's negative impact on young users. However, experts note challenges remain, particularly with underage users lying about their age. Instagram’s changes roll out in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Britain.
