Instagram is making some big changes for its teenage users! Starting this week, all current and new accounts held by users under 18 will automatically be enrolled in a 'Teen Account' with built-in protections. This means that teens will need their parent's permission to opt out of certain safety features, like limiting who can contact them and restricting the type of content they can view. Plus, parents will now have more control over their child's screen time and be able to monitor who their teen is interacting with on the app. With these new updates, Instagram is aiming to address concerns about the safety and well-being of its younger users. So, if you're a teen on Instagram or a parent of one, make sure to stay informed about these changes!
